Happy Veteran's Day!

      Last week, I was asked by a teacher at school if I had anyone in my family who served in WWII that may still be living. I was proud to tell her that my grandfather did serve in the Army and I was happy to tell her that he is still with us. She asked if he were able to come to the Veteran's Day program on Monday, so after I made a few phone calls it was taken care of. Thanks to my Uncle Peno (Doc's Chauffer)for bringing him to the program at Steekee Elementary to honor our Vets today. Doc is 92 now and can remember everything from WWII. Jeremy and I were fortunate enough a few New Year's Eve's ago to spend the night with the kids at Docs. He shared the days leading up to his drafting and how excited he was that he was given the chance to play college football. He talked about his trip over and everything he seen and experienced during this time. He spoke highly of the friends he met along the way and even about the time when he got shot. I will never forget what he said, "I stuffed my wound and kept fighting. I couldn't leave my buddies." It was a night I will cherish forever.

Thanks Doc for serving and protecting our country. We love you!

A special thanks to our other special family members who served our country and served it well:
Gramps- U.S. Army
Papaw- U.S. Army (Vietnam War)
Uncle Kent- Army
Cousin Chris- Air Force
