Hero Time

 

USS_Lake_Champlain_CV-39_SCB-27A_Only Courage is almost a contradiction in terms.  It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.  ~G.K. Chesterton

This is the Aircraft Carrier my Father-in-law served on, the USS Lake Champaign. In my eyes (and his 3 kids) he is an hero…willing to serve and possibly die for his country and his family. So this is a small tribute to all the brave men and women who have served and who are serving in harm’s way. There are not enough words to say thanks but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Happy Veterans Day!
