“We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.” - Winston Churchill

— Love this quote from your page.

I think we sleep securely in our beds because of all our military personnel. Especially my cousin, Alan, who for 27 years rode the high seas in a navy submarine.

He has since retired. I used to ask him what the first thing he’d do when he ever retired and he said he was going to buy a Harley. Sure ‘nuff, that’s exactly what he did.

He’s even made the trip from Chesapeake to visit us in Effingham, Illinois. With his wife and their little dachshund Ozzie.

Great fun they’re having tooling around the country. But seriously, I applaud all those years of service for him and for you and each and every one of our military persons.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!
