I have members of my family who are in the military. I have friends who are in the military. Classmates who served in the military.

My father and brothers were in the military.

My father and all my uncles on both sides served in the military in World War II and Korea.

My younger brother is a decorated combat veteran and was a platoon leader in Iraq.

My father had many, many veterans over to the house, and the older I got the more I appreciated their sacrifice.

My family has served the country in almost every major war since the Civil War.

My father was career military. He was a veteran, he was a doctor of political science, he taught at West Point and Air Command Staff and lectured at the War College.

My grandfather is a retired Marine, and I've always had a great deal of respect for anyone who serves our country.

I'm as interested in the families and communities that surround our soldiers.

I take care of military families. Their sacrifices are very real.
