My “Aunt Willie”

ANYTHING... that anyone wants to read. This has been one of those weeks for me. It’s also been crazy busy. One of those weeks that makes me question why I ever retired! But, let there be no doubt, I love my life... crazy as it gets.

Boozman Statement Commemorating Veterans Day

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Boozman released the following statement in commemoration of Veterans Day: “As the son of a veteran, I know brave, honorable Americans have defended our freedom for generations. These men and women gave so much, in some cases their very lives, and deserve our support, respect and admiration. This Veterans Day, we once again take the opportunity to express tremendous gratitude to every former servicemember – especially those in The Natural State who are such vital parts of our families and communities. We can never fully repay them, but they will always have our appreciation for serving and sacrificing to protect our nation.”
