. . . to my favorite vets:
My granddad, Roy Clement (RIP)
My brother, Ron Ellington
My uncles, Dawson Pope, Bob Keesling, John Knipp (RIP), and Maurice Ellington
My cousins, Ross and Curt Pope, Randy Ellington, Bob Ellington, and Jeff and Paul Knipp
My friends, John Bailey, Bob Brown, George Thomas, Richard Holland, Jim Lindstedt, Jon Turner, Clarance Vineyard (RIP), Joel Tolbirt, Bill Soden, and Bill Ashworth
Thank you for being members of that long, unbroken line of men and women who have been willing to stand in harm's way so I didn't have to.
Remember, only two people in all of history have been willing to die for you: Jesus and the American military veteran.
Thank you.
