Thumbs up

Although I am not a vet (I flunked the physical due to a migraine condition - not kidding), my niece is married to a Staff Sergeant who works for Army Intelligence (no jokes please). He's been all over the mid-East and his main duty is teaching other soldiers how to disarm land mines (again - not kidding).

A few years ago, I held a fund-raising event to get money to restore his car (new transmission, etc.) while he was overseas. He didn't know anything about it until he came home and he was really surprised. It was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.

THANK YOU VETS!
