Thank you for the opportunity. Lots of family members that have served. Uncles on both sides of my family and several cousins included.

I am probably the most proud of my maternal grandfather. He was a giant of a man standing at 6'7. He served in WWII, and saw fighting in Germany. He had a couple of brothers that saw combat as well.

He lost his right arm in a farming accident and almost lost his life. A concerned neighbor seeing an open gate, stopped and found him bleeding out. He fought and survived. His story was actually told in Reader's Digest "Tales of Courage" series.

I really miss him. Thank you Grandpa Wolf for everything.

Thank you to everyone who answered the calls throughout the history of this country.

There is part of a song that I always think is appropriate for today:

"Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground. Mother Earth will swallow you, lay your body down."

How generous! As I had mentioned in a post earlier this week, Me, my brothers and my dad all served. I don't post a lot here but I am on here several times a day. Keep my opinions to myself and gain wisdom from those who are far more insightful than me. Thanks very much!
