Happy Veterans Day

Posted on 13:53 by rendy orton
Especially on a day like today, I'm so proud to have military veterans in my family.

Our US soldiers serve with honor and distinction, and I consider my dad and grandpa to be heroes.

My sister posted two great pictures of them on her blog today, and I'll share them here as well.

I wrote a post about my Grandpa's WWII service here, if you're interested.

Both men are/were great patriots, as are all of our beloved service men and women.

God bless them!
