Thank You and God Bless them all!!! I was trying to explain to our little grandson what Veteran's Day was all about and why it's important to fly our flag today. After I explained to him what a veteran was and what relatives and friends have fought and are still fighting for us, he asked, "Are they fighting the bad guys?" That pretty much sums it up doesn't it?
