I love this country. It is truly the greatest country on earth, with so much promise and potential. I get annoyed a lot of times at gluttony, greed, laziness, entitlement, etc., and I sometimes forget and let those feelings overshadow the fact that there is so much good here, so much hard work that built this land — that we live in a land that people actually die trying to get to.

I am so proud of the military legacy of my family. I pray that my sons continue it, and continue to fight for and stand for America. Here is my annual “What Veteran’ Day Means to Me” posting of the honor of my family’s service to our country:

My Great-Grandfather, WWI — my great-grandfather, WWI

my father-in-law, Vietnam — My father-in-law, Vietnam

My dad, 2nd Ranger Battallion, 1980 — My father, 2nd Ranger Battallion, 1980

My father-in-law and sister-in-law, Jump School Graduation, 1989 — My father-in-law and sister-in-law, Jump School Graduation, 1986

My husband, his dad, his sister, Kuwait, 1991 — My husband, his dad, his sister, Dharhan, Saudi Arabia, Easter Sunday 1991

my husband, Afghanistan, 2002 — My husband, Afghanistan, 2002

Gregg and Scott, 2007 — my husband and son, 2007

alicia rick — My sister-in-law and my father-in-law during her promotion to COL (O-6) 2011

The valor and sacrifice of all Veterans can never be honored enough. I am so very proud of every one of you, and I pray daily for those of you currently serving. I hope you will accept my humble thanks.

Happy Veterans’ Day.
