Over the years in the United States, many veterans remember the holidays as difficult times when on active duty away from their families. This year, I decided to share a story I have been asked to share many times about one of our area’s famous veterans. This article is dedicated to all of our service members around the world who are away from home during the holidays serving their country with distinction. To all those away from home, thank you for your service to our country in the most difficult of circumstances.
