Veterans Day is the most emotional holiday for me. 13 years I have served the US ARMY and the closer I get to retirement the more I realize how much I will miss everyone that I have served with. God has brought me home from 4 deployments but I think about my friends and comrades that didnt make it back home to their families. May you rest in peace I love you and miss you. Rip Seteria Brown..
