In honor of the observance of Veteran’s Day, I’m going to be brief. I’m going to say thank you to the vets who allow me the freedom to poke fun at the “gubmint” – my husband, brother, father-in-law, uncle, and both granddads, just to name the ones I’m related to. I realize the broad roads I’m able to travel, both in writing and real life, because of sacrifices made by those who are brave enough to sign that contract.

Thank you.
