I can’t let today go by without sending a word of thanks out to all our veterans, past and present, active and inactive. I am humbled by your sacrifices, and haven’t the words to explain the depth of my gratitude.

As I watch this, I’m back in my grandparents living room on Elizabeth Street watching Loony Tunes, with my Pepiere in the kitchen listening to country music and reading his western novel, and my Memiere cooking and sharing news with whoever was sitting at the table. The smell of coffee and pie, the sounds of warm conversation and laughter. Comfort.
