Thanks Ian

I can't stress the importance of letting these men & women know thier worth to us all. My buddy's humvee ran over an IED in Iraq and has lifelong trauma/injuries due to it (lost a few buddies and can't sleep for $hit). Taking him out to lunch today was the least I can do to show my gratitude. They deserve so much more than the government is giving them. These BRAVE people are part of the reason we live free lives. This beautiful country has some of the best people serving in it's armed forces, and they should all be reminded of how pertinent they are to our safety and well being. Every day, not just today.

God Bless our Veterans and their families!!! Keep up the excellent work, it is all much appreciated! Let's Roll!
