I lost my grandfather April 26, 2012. He was the greatest man I have ever known. He taught all of us the value of hard work. He suffered from Alzheimer's. Most days he didn't remember things from that morning, but he would always talk about joining the Army the day he graduated from High School. He didn't have a lot of money to take care of his family so he joined the military to support them. He always talked about being in the Mojave Desert. I think often times we forget to thank those who served long ago. I thinkall of our troops deserve a Huge Thank You. I will always remember my grandfather fondly. I wear his dog tags every single day to support hm and the other troops and to feel close to him.
