Veterans Day
My cousin Paul and I are the first men on both sides of my family that haven't been members of the Armed Forces. My father had to serve as he was drafted in his early twenties. His parents (Margaret and Joseph Raible) were career officers and served in WWII. My mother's father (Oliver Hill) was in the Amphibious Corps, which predated the Navy Seals. I thank all these men in my family and all other veterans for giving me the freedom I have. Thanks for making this country safe for my family and for my children.
