Merry Christmas and God bless our soldiers and families

Merry Christmas and God’s blessings to all of our soldiers and their families. I also thank all of our brave young men and women who gave their lives and those who have returned home with injuries.

Thank you just doesn’t feel like enough to say, but when you come in contact with a veteran, please remember to let them know that their service to our country is appreciated.

My dad, the late John Ward Jr. was a Korean War veteran. He was very proud of having served his country and I am very proud of him.
