Thank you all - all who have served, do serve, and will serve.
Thank you Bampa, Chuck, and Dad for answering the call when it came. And thank you, Papa, for trying, only to be told you were needed where you were.
And thank you, the man in the box of old family photos. A smiling, proud young man in his World War One uniform and Jack Pershing hat, posing with his girl for the portrait.
Yes, there's some stories there. Some that I know and cherish, and others I can only guess at.
