Col. Charles F. Austin, my Father rose from an inductee during World War II through officers candidate school to career army officer. He served with distinction as did all of my Uncles. We can never thank them or honor them Enough. Kathy Austin
Bob Weidner: 1954-1980. He enlisted in the reserves while in high school and then US Army Infantry, Wisconsin National Guard and finishing with Oregon Army National Guard 162nd Infantry Brigade; he did not see combat himself, although he was twice on a plane to the Cuban Missile Crisis and they were turned back both times. I had the privilege of taking him on the Honor Flight to Washington DC in May, 2017. The greatest generation!
My husband, Matt Stephens, USAF Targeteer, and my brother, Ryan Anderson, USAF C-17 Loadmaster who was most recently deployed during the Afghanistan withdrawal. I like Grateful Veterans Day much better too! We are very grateful.

Thanks, Kathy. Agreed, we can never thank your dad, uncles and other vets enough.
