There are many people reading this who wrote a blank check... and for this I would like to say 'Thank You'.

It's part of the job -- to do what you have to do to protect life and liberty at home and abroad and to protect the safety of our communities.

For those who have signed on ----

...As a soldier...a sailor...an airman...a Marine...or Coastie...

For those who serve us here... as responders... police officers...EMT/Paramedics....as fire fighters and rescue workers...


Thank you for answering the call...whether it has taken you in harm's way..or whether it was just to be on guard or on call....


On this day we honor Veterans,

THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE!
