Happy Veterans Day to all the Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen out there. Your service and sacrifices have built the foundations of this country and will always be remembered and appreciated.

As a veteran, thank you for your kind words James. As a citizen, I would also like to say thank you to all of our active duty service men and women and to all of our veterans. God bless you all.

Words do not begin to describe the thanks that I give to those of you who have served or are currently serving. The most I can do is thank you for your service.

We had a small memorial service at the Embassy and it was very emotional for me. We all reminded each other that "Freedom doesn't come free".

A little early, but this damn near choked me up.

I would like to honor two veterans on this day. Both were family members. First is my mother's brother my uncle Bill Bass. Uncle Bill was a tail gunner on a B-17 flying out of England. Bill's bomber was shot down over occupied France. Bill and another waist gunner made it out and parachuted into the countryside. The French Resistance picked them up and got them back across the Channel to England.
Second is my Father, Ed Jacobs. Dad was caught in the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes forest in Belgium in December. Dad was an ammo humper for a 60mm mortar crew. They got overrun and all were killed except my father. He escaped by playing dead and when the Germans continued advancing he crawled into a foxhole and stayed trapped in the snow for almost two weeks. He only told me this after I returned from Vietnam.
So smoke a stogie to honor those willing to give their lives for us to have what we have.
Semper Fidelis
