Veterans Day ’08

Best to all Vets out there….all who’ve served, and all who currently are! Both of my granddads served in WWII and I think of them today. One other comes to mind today — Mr. Thomas Kustelski. His son Tom and I have known each other since the 6th grade — by far the oldest friendship…
