That's me many years ago hosting my own radio show on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln. What an honor and one of the most memorable times in my life.

Veterans and their families rank next to first responders for me. You can't put a price on sacrificing your life for someone you don't even know. Military families arguably pay the ultimate price considering they hold the family together. You never know what to expect at a family member when your loved one is on duty.

Veteran's Day is only a 24 hour period. That's a small window of gratification and in my opinion, they should pay the minimum for everything. That said, I found some sales that are offered to veterans and their families.

Thank you again for your service and to your family for sacrificing holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and every other special occasion without you so we can have ours freely.
