Veterans Day

It's on today, November 11, that we pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of the men and women who in defense of our freedom have bravely worn the uniform of the United States. Our country is forever indebted to our veterans for their quiet courage and exemplary service. On Veterans Day, we remember these heroes for their valor, their loyalty, and their dedication.

So on today, I remember and give thanks to ALL veterans. But there is one that stands out in my mind...Russell Lewis Payzant. My father. He served in the US Marine Corp during Vietnam. I love you dad. Thanks for your service in defending our freedom. You ALWAYS have and WILL be my HERO!!
