Today is Veterans Day and it were up to me EVERY day would be Veterans Day. Our military forces are not only the finest in the world, they are full of volunteers who sign up to serve our nation despite the dangers they know may lay ahead. For anyone that has served in a branch of the American armed forces, whether it be Coast Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines...Thank you. Although saying it will NEVER be enough. In particular, I want to thank my Papaw, David Smith. Papaw served in the US Army during the period of the Korean War and never once complained about the discomfort he experienced or the rough times he had. Not only was he glad to do it, he was PROUD to do it. After serving his country, Papaw went on to marry my grandmother and to raise 5 children and go on to have many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were the light of his life. Because of people such as David Smith, the world sleeps a little easier each and every night. He is, has always been and will always be my hero. Thank you, Papaw....For everything.
