They are the reason why we have the liberties and freedoms as well as the opportunities to succeed. There are those who would rather we not have them. These are the thing desert fatigues line that protects us.
And, that includes the American veterans who wore the gray during the Civil War.
Every one of my blogs today is saluting all American veterans.
In keeping with this, a World War II veteran and a Rosie the Riveter were honored in Centerville, Ohio, today.
** 1st Lt. Walter Pettit, 97, was a member of the Army Air Corps and saw action in the skies over France and Germany, flying a P-47 Thunderbolt.
** Ruth Snively, 95, worked at the Seeburg Factory in Chicago as one of the war's "Rosie the Riveters." Seeburg was known for their jukeboxes, but during the war made sonar sets for the Navy.
I have my U.S. flags out flying proud. Hope you have yours as well.
Thank You veterans and, of course, the Greatest Generation.
