HONOR . . .
. . . simply put, a Veteran -- whether active duty, prior service, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America', for an amount of up to and including his or her life.'
That is Honor. And there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
God bless you and yours, stay safe and God speed to you Don!
