I honor our Military today and always... We have a great country and you've paved the road for the freedom that we are experiencing in America. I have family members who've been in the military and those that are still active. They are brave and have left a legacy forever imprinted in our footsteps called FREEDOM.
My Uncle Clayton Atwood (deceased) was among the brave. He was awarded a Purple Heart for his bravery. Clayton was wounded and became disabled. He will be forever remembered in my heart.
My husband was also amongst the brave military. He served some of his duty in Viet Nam in "Research and Rescue." He was stationed on a Navy ship, which was their base for helicopters to fly into the jungles in Nam, rescuing the fallen soldier's from their aircraft. A very dangerous job. The area was cleared by the Gatlin Guns before he went down in a sling to pick-up the wounded. Now, that's bravery, and he is to be honored on this Memorial Day. He made it out alive and is here to tell his story, which is something that us, living in the states couldn't fathom, unless we were there. I am very proud of you Bruce Messimer.
My son Steve Andersen is retired from the Navy and working in the field that he studied while in the service. He is a Dental Technican and has made many partials, and full dentures in his Naval Lab. He is now working in a lab in the Mid-West as a Supervisor and does hands-on work. I am very proud of him for his dedication to our country and his family.
I have two Grandsons Joshua and Trevor and a Step-Grandson Adam that are now on active duty, serving their country. They are young and ambitious and very patriotic doing their upmost to keep America free. I honor you three men for your dedication to our wonderful country.
I pray for peace and for our freedom to stay alive. In these troubled times in politics, our adversaries are right in the mix waiting.
