With that sly smile, that’s the Grandpa I knew.

Uncle C.L. (Carl Lester) served in the Navy in the 1960s and ’70s.

Tomorrow’s Memorial Day, and on this day I always think of my grandpa and uncle, both of whom served in the Navy. Luckily for all of us, they didn’t die in action, but I know many people who have lost loved ones in the military. They and all veterans and their families deserve every bit of honor we can give them.

And for those who are still serving, know that some of us can’t wait for you to come home.
