I had the honor, Sunday, of attending church services with our youngest son, who is serving and who's photo is shown on the opening page of my website, and I can say that he was treated with nothing less than total respect. Nothing else, or we get political.

Once I was in the audience when the singer did the same, asking all veterans to stand; after I had sat down, the lady next to me touched me on the arm and said, "thank you for what you did to help protect our wonderful country." It was the first time anyone had ever done that, and it brought tears to my eyes. We should never pass up the opportunity to say "thanks" to _*any*_ veteran. And so to ALL veterans who read this, "THANK YOU!!!" Dave Ross, Aurora CO
