“The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.” — Jeff Miller

“Damn the wars but bless the soldier.” ― T.L. Moffatt

“To The Veterans of the United States of America
Thank you, for the cost you paid for our freedom, thank you for the freedom to live in safety and pursue happiness, for freedom of speech… and for all the freedoms that we daily take for granted.” — Sara Niles

I was able to spend some time with two outstanding authors before the Georgia game on Saturday - Paula Mosher Wallace and Mary Jacobs. Both of their books are available on Amazon. Reading Mary’s book reminded me of all the valuable lessons I have learned from my mentor - it is really great stuff.
