Honoring our Veterans

My Grandfather, Lester Thompson, Army-Air Corps vet and retired LAPD Officer.


Lieutenant Commander Scott Smith, US Navy and I checking out his jet.

I am stealing this list from a very nice e-mail honoring the vets in our family that my Aunt Chris sent today. We have quite a military family and I am honored and amazed by all these brave souls. A Thank you is not enough to express our gratitude.
