Veterans Day is a day that we as Americans honor all those who have and are serving our country. It should happen every day of the year! You see, it is THEY who have made us the Greatest Country in the world and the beacon of hope for all those who are oppressed! THEY have and are the “point of the spear” that has deterred those who would like to take away our way of life. It is THEY who have heard the calling of something greater then themselves and at some point put our needs above theirs. Their families have kept the home fires burning all the while praying for their safe return. I am Proud of our veterans and thank my lucky stars that God has blessed us with a group of individuals so willing to serve. Thank you my veterans, you and yours are forever in my heart and prayers.

Proud Father and Family of an American soldier and hero,
Gary W. Swanson
