What Curtis said. Personally, we went to a service that Canyon Lake does each Veterans day. Pretty emotional experience, watching all the vets, hearing them describe their time in the service. They have a rotunda dedicated to vets. Rita's son and daughter in law are scribed in bricks along with my son. I go there every week to contemplate. Will be seeing him and his wife for the first time in 2½ years this Thanksgiving.

Luc-I can only imagine what a parent goes through with someone in the service. The reunion will be a sweet one.

Nice reunion for us to have him and the crew back safe. They arrived a few days late for Veterans Day but we were there to meet them. I'm proud to brag that Captain Randall is our son-in-law. Go team!
