The Middle Ground

Today we celebrate our freedom. Let us not forget those who served and guaranteed this day of celebration for 228 years. My family has 11 veterans, living and passed, that have served in every war since the Spanish American War. They served with honor and pride. Today, I am honored to be a part of that legacy. My brother was on active duty during Gulf War I, Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo. Today, he is in the reserves and is a full time Air Force National Guard. My cousin is active duty Army. To all those that serve and all those that tend the fires on the home front, I salute you.
