THANKS TO ALL THE VETERANS

A big "thank you" goes to all our veterans and active military servicemen and women for the sacrifice and contribution they have given our great country. We owe these people for the sweet freedom we enjoy everyday. Tuesday, November 11th is Veterans Day. Let me encourage everyone to find a veteran on Tuesday and thank them personally for their service to our country. It is because of them we live freely in the greatest country on earth.
