My son-in-law is an army Captain, West Point Grad. and has already served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I am so proud of him...and he is only 27 years old. Also the "father " to 2 little pugs, Edward and Boo.

Absolutely true. I also like the bumper sticker
"If you can read this,
thank a teacher.
If it's in English,
thank a veteran".
