Letter: Truly thankful

Posted on Nov 26, 2013 - 02:32 PM Printer Friendly View
Are you thankful? Yes, I truly am. Foremost is the outpouring of kindness for Veterans Day. Myself retired USN, twenty seven years, eleven months, sixteen days. What a thrill when a complete stranger stops you and says “Thank you for your service to our country.” I’m just overwhelmed.
 
Michael J. Lair
USN-retired
Mathews, Va.
