Thank
you to the men and women who have served or are currently serving in the
military.
This
display is in honor of family members who have served or are currently serving
in the military.
We
are honored these men and women are our family and served to protect our
freedom. Some of them made the ultimate sacrifice and for that we are truly
grateful. Many of these displayed fought in wars that most of us only read about
in our history books. We have a great-grandfather that was in the Civil War, an
uncle who witnessed the flag being raised at Iwo Jima, a grandpa that survived
kamikaze pilots sinking his ship, a dad that was a ball-turret gunner on a B-17
who flew 30 missions, a grandpa that was paratrooper, and a dad that stormed
the beaches of Omaha on D-Day. These are only a few of the heroic men displayed.
We, at GBA, want to welcome back Tony Casella. He recently spent six months in Oman serving as a firefighter with the US Air Force Reserves. We are glad to have him back safely and thank him for his service.
To
all the heroes who have served over our nation’s lifetime and those currently
serving, thank you.
