YEP, I'm a DEMOCRAT!   HA!!!

On the ARMY thing, both of my sons joined!
One for 4 years the other decided to make it a career.
I am RETIRED NAVY!

For me, EVERY DAY is Veterans Day and
I  pray for those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country,
thanking God we have men and women willing to do this!
