4th of July Thank You
On a personal note, I live next door to a surviving D-Day veteran from World War II. I thank him all the time for his heroics. I let him know that if it weren’t for brave people like himself, we would all be speaking either German or Japanese right now. Thank you Seth and all the people that have given their lives for what we will be enjoying this weekend. Have a happy and safe 4th of July.
