HONORING ALL WHO SERVED

Warm and hearty greetings to all of our Veterans from every era and a proud salute: to my uncle, Sam Sadie, U. S. Marine Corps, World War Two (age 100, soon to be 101 on December 22!); to my old friend and comrade-in-arms, Nicholas J. Hun, Colonel, U. S. Army (Retired), served in Vietnam and Europe; to my brother-in-law, John L. Gramesty, Petty Officer, U. S. Navy, served in Vietnam aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga; to all my Veteran friends and neighbors here in the Del Webb Community (I greeted many of you at the Veterans Day ceremonies held today at the Del Webb Community Center). The citizens of a grateful nation remain secure in a perilous world because of you, and today celebrate your devotion to duty, your courage and your sacrifice.

Thank you for your service!
