[Steppes] OT -- Thank A Veteran Not Just Today But Everyday

[Elec Sean]

My grandfather who served in WWI and WWII was at Pearl Harbor as a USMC,
even though I never knew him, I grew up to stories of him and things that
went on.  My mother who followed in her fathers footsteps and joined the
Corp.  My adopted father who served in the Army, and uncles, nephews, and
who knows all in my family who served.  My father-in-law who still serves to
this day.  To all others who have served, Thank you from the bottom of my
heart.  And yes, I am one of those who get teary eyed at the National
Anthem.
