It is Veteran's day again and it always brings to mind, those that have fought and died for us, and also those that are Veterans in the making, our troops in the wars right now. They will be our veterans of tomorrow. So this piece is to honor those , all veterans of all wars, but also those that are very, very close to me personally, and everyone else's son, father or husband now serving or having served, Bless Them All.

Here are my Veterans in my family,

First there is my Father, Richard C. Gordineer Sr., Veteran of WW1

My Father-in-law Frank C. Dugan, Veteran of WW1

My husband William G. Dugan, Veteran of WW2

My brother in law, Frank c. Dugan Jr, Veteran of WW2

My brother Richard C. Gordineer Jr, Veteran of Korean War

My brother Lawrence Gordineer, Veteran of Korean War

My Son, Dexter W. Dugan, Veteran of Vietnam Era

Andrew Randsom, Army, Now serving in Iraq

, In a very dangerous zone, I am his Grannie, he calls me that. I love him very much

Wayne VanEtten, my son-in-law from post Vietnam era

Veterans Day is a special day to me, as I think it is for most everyone, all of us have veterans in our families, and this is meant as a tribute to all of them, these pictures are all so old, but that is okay, I remember them all in my heart. My son Dexter, and Wayne, and Andrew and my brother -in-law Frank, are all still with us, I Thank God for that Blessing.
