HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Thank you to all of you who have served: past, present and future. Your service is appreciated every day.

Let's salute our servicemen and women in honor of their service, sacrifice and valor. Let's also honor their families. They serve and sacrifice as well.

Last year, I wanted to honor each branch by using a photo of something representative of their uniqueness.  (For the Marine, I just had to use that photo.)  This year's theme incorporated logos within each branch.  ENJOY!

Today is the last day to enter the giveaway for a $50 Gift Certificate.
