Five generations. One thank you.

No tax talk today.
Today is Veterans Day, and I want to use this email for one thing. To say thank you.
My family has worn this country’s uniform for five generations. Somebody in our family has served in every conflict since World War II.
My dad was a medic in Vietnam. I grew up on his stories. They're why I joined the Army in the late ’80s to become a medic like him.
So this day means a lot to me.
And the line keeps going.
My daughter Bella is at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. My daughter-in-law Kanoe is serving right now. I am so proud of both of them. I don’t know a fancier way to say it, so I’ll just say it plain.
I put some of our family photos together below. Old ones and new ones. Different decades, different uniforms, same decision to raise a hand and go.
If you served, this one is for you. Thank you. For the time you gave up, the miles you put between yourself and home, and the things you carried back that most people will never see.
If someone you love served, do me a favor. Call them today. Tell them thank you from me, too.
Happy Veterans Day.
