To my grandpa who served in the Navy. He saw action in both the Atlantic and Pacific during World War II and received the Purple Heart.

To my father who served as an Air Force pilot in Vietnam. He flew c-123s in Operation Ranch Hand and received the Purple Heart.

To my husband Mark and my cousin Jeff – both who served in the US Army during Operation Desert Storm.

To Dan, to Patty, to Alex, to Craig and to Ellery.

To everyone who has served in war or peacetime. To the families who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you.
