I just wanted to write a little something in honor of our Veterans. Both my Grandpa's fought in World War II and served their country. My Grandpa Isom was a mechanic and worked on fighter jets, while my Grandpa McDermott fought in the front lines of the war. He was so close that some bomb shrapnel hit him and tore out all of the muscle in one of his calves and put a whole about an inch deep through his back. Growing up as kids we could honestly stick our finger into the hole, we thought it was so cool. My Grandpa is proud to say that he never fired his gun, but he himself was wounded severly by the enemy.
It is amazing how many people volunteer to be soldiers. We are so lucky to have men and women who are willing to do that for us, and fight to keep us safe and keep the freedoms that we have. I know that I take for granted every day all that I have,I have so much respect and admiration for the spouses and children of our soldiers. I don't know how they do it, but they do.
I remember in High School when I was in Concert Choir we sang a bunch of songs on Veterans Day up at the University of Utah somewhere, and I was proud to be a part of that. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who help to keep our families and our country safe! God Bless America!
