Veteran's Day

Flying our flag in Arizona.

I am always grateful for my freedom and the men who have fought for it. Even if I don't always agree with what goes on in Washington, we are fortunate to be Americans. Thank you to my Dad, Grandpa Minch, Grandpa Black, Uncle George, Uncle Jim, our cousins on my mom's side: Nick Hefner and Jason Scoppa and any other family I might be forgetting!  Growing up an Army Brat (even though my mom hates that term) I have to also mention the amazing guys we were lucky enough to know: Art, Bobby, Tom, Johnny, Bob, Ken, George, Ron, Dan, Terry, Bert, John, Marty, Jay, and Bob (again, lots of Bobs). My own dear friends from growing up Sean, Sarah, Nate and Matt. All of these men and Sarah, who keep have fought to protect this country, thank you. 

I am sure after all the years my Dad was in the Army, I am forgetting one of the guys.  Mom, you'll correct me :)
