My wife's great uncle was a farmer in eastern Nebraska for over 70 years. He never had children, he had a wife that adored him and a piece of dirt that he took pride in.
He was a WW2 veteran that spoke little of his experiences - but the SEALS pinning his coffin and placard of medals spoke to his service to this country.
I respect each and every member of our military service, but am enamoured by the ones that come home - put their honoured time on the shelf, and continue on with their lives.
Thank you Uncle Richard - and thank you to every member of the service that has and will protect this great nation that I still believe in.
