Veteran's Day, 2017

It's way too easy to slap a frame on a random photo. When my son, Joe, told me, long ago, that he wanted to join the National Guard, it was just after 9/11.

He replied that he knew what might come, but he thought it was important. I have tears in my eyes as I write this. Joe, you're my hero
