    To all of you who have served your country, Thank You.

    It is largely because of you that we have the freedom that we enjoy.

    My best friend... the guy who helps me cut and split even though he doesn't burn wood... the guy who works overnight shift the same place I work and often leaves a carafe of coffee on my desk in the morning... he was in the guard, was almost deployed three times, even made it to the airport once but never did deploy. In my eyes he is no less a veteran than anyone else. He was willing, it just never happened.

    And just so you guys know, it's a two way street. He does unskilled labor for me and I keep his vehicles running and work on his honey do list because he is the opposite of handy. When his dad was freeloading off of him, I took him in. When he was unemployed, I covered his half of expenses. He'll, I set him up with his wife. Anyway, good men deserve to be honoured.
