  • Honoring ALL Who Served & Uncle Bud

    Glen and Uncle Bud 2004Glen and his Uncle Bud:  Deployment of the Troops Ceremonies, 2004

    Funny, light-hearted and totally lovable, Steve is an amazing person.  Not long after this photo was taken, my twin brother lost a kidney to cancer (the bitch!)

    Still, you'd never know it.

    He's the sort of person who, after only a few minutes of conversation, you can't help but like the man and then, amazingly, come away feeling a little lighter in spirit.

    Trust me, I know.  Steve is a constant inspiration to the troops he's trained, the men and women who serve alongside him and, most especially, their families, who sacrifice a little piece of their hearts, every day.

    Not ONLY because it is his job, it's how he rolls.

    With love and appreciation to all who served:  most especially, thank you, Uncle Bud!

  • Veteran’s Day Project: Children Give Thanks

    Veteran's Day Project

    Her 3rd grade class was asked to create posters, giving thanks to a soldier, for the Veteran's Day Parade, today — she chose her Uncle John.

    Veteran's Day Poster

    Each of her classmates has a poster, just like it.

    A special thanks to ALL of our troops and big HOOAH to my twin brother, SFC Kat, who has dedicated each and every one of his medals to our parents — they risked their lives for the promise of freedom and love America more than anyone I know!
