I am a proud member of a military family. My grandpa, uncles, brother, and cousins served. My great grandfather and great aunt worked on Little Boy for The Manhattan Project.
When military bands and programs come through Columbus, I’m always in attendance. When the conductors ask those in the audience to stand if they or a loved one served in the American Armed Forces, I rise for the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Come rain or come shine, I know I am fortunate to have been born in this country, and I am thankful to come from a family that sacrificed for it…
