I'd like to say a big thank you all of our Veterans, Active Duty and Reserve service members.. My Dad joined the Marines in 1942 at 29 years of age even though he was married with a little critter. My Mother and Dad were totally dedicated to the war effort. I never heard them complain about what they had to do. It was a war they felt they had to win.

I'd like to remember a good friend, the late Major Albert, "Duke", Fullerton, US Army, Retired. Duke was assigned to the Philippines before Peal Harbor. He survived what he called "The Big Hike", the Bataan Death March. He spent some three and a half years as a POW and rest of his life recovering from his wounds. He was such special person. Duke had spirit. My wife named the A we're restoring Duke.

The history of our veteran's hard work, dedication and guts is one we can all be proud of. They did their jobs without thanks and did them well. So to you VETS, Thank You.
