Today I was sitting in a Granite City restaurnat having lunch with my wonderful 95 yr old father-in-law and husband. I looked up and saw banners on the lamp post. A closer look revealed that they were honoring veterans. Tears welled up because I felt just how much I missed dad, who had passed away two years ago. I knew just how special this foundation was. I appreciated my lunch with my father-in-law and felt an overwhelming appreciation for the service of so many men and women.....and my dear father.
