As a veteran I appreciate it when someone remembers the veterans on Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, and Veterans Day and other holidays. But I for one want to salute all of the unsung heros...the families who are waiting at home. We as soldiers are trained, are equipped mentally and emotionally to deal with war. Families are not. They wait, pray and lean on their faith that their soldiers will come home. Knowing that my wife was there waiting for me to come home kept me going. So I salute the families on this 4th of July. ~ Dewey Polf
