Unfortunately my grandfathers are no longer with us, but I had the honor of knowing and loving them both.  Edward Hubert served in the US Army in WWII as a Staff Sargent, he was in the Battle of the Bulge and personally met General George S. Patton. Henry Wolf served as a Bombardier/Navigator on the B-26 Invader for the 13th Bomb Squadron during the Korean War. 

My father, my uncle and I all served in the U.S. Coast Guard.  My father retired after 20 years of service in 1991.  

So… if you happen to see veterans tomorrow at your local mall or supermarket with a table full of keychains and pamphlets… stop by and talk to them…give them a donation and a handshake, believe me… you will enjoy it!
