On This Veterans Day…



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.

No Tricks, Just Treats

There were no ghosts or goblins, but we did see Mini Mouse, a dinosaur, and a watermelon. Employees brought their kids to the office for trick-or-treating on Halloween at the end of the workday. It was fun to see some of the classics like Mickey and Mini Mouse, and Cinderella. A few of the other costumes included a train conductor, a rock star, and a cow. After getting their buckets full of candy here, the kids went home to go door-to-door in their neighborhoods and get more candy. What a fun holiday. 

Happy Halloween!!
