Happy Veteran's Day!

My handsome grandpa Oliver Lewis Wilkinson,
a Chief Petty Officer in the US Navy

I've talked before about being from a military family and growing up an Air Force brat for the first 11 years of my life.  I am very proud of all my family members who served in the military...I think it is an incredibly brave choice to make, and I am thankful for everything veterans have sacrificed to protect our safety.   Happy Veteran's Day to all of you who have served or are serving!  You are heroes of the highest order.

Here's a video of soldiers coming home that will make you cry:

And come back tomorrow for Part II of the Brooke Fraser saga.  And then I promise not to talk about it again for a while.
