Happy Veterans Day!!

Happy Veterans Day!!

I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone that has served this great country, including my ancestors.  The sacrifices they made and the hardships that they had to endure are not lost on me.  I am very proud to have ancestors that have served throughout the history of our nation, back to the Revolutionary War.

Here is a list of some of the many people in my family (and my husband’s) who have bravely served our country in the Armed Forces.

Nathaniel Brittain (he lost his life during the war)
Ambrose Garriott
Charles Clark Moorman
Dudley Glass
Patrick Cavit

War of 1812:
John Glass

And last but not least, my wonderful husband who is still on Active Duty after 22 years of service in the Army.
