Veterans Day 2015
By Dave Shute
On this Veterans Day, just a note to thank all of those who have put their lives at risk so that the rest of us can be free.
My favorite veteran is my dad, career Navy–that’s him above during the Korean War. He sponsored us at Shades of Green earlier this year, and is doing the same in December.
Next favorite is my wife’s dad–that’s him above, on the right, during World War II. That hand was wounded on Tarawa.
After him, my next favorite is my sister’s husband, who served with the riverine Navy in Vietnam.
And another favorite is Steve (above) from MilitaryDisneyTips.com, a retired Air Force First Shirt who does a great job keeping military families up to date on great Disney World deals and other important info. Steve is also the Military Moderator on this site.
There’s a number of great offers available at Disney World for service members, their families, and their friends. Most apply to active duty and reserves, and career retired folk, but some are also available to other classes of vets. The best way to understand these is through Steve’s site, or his new book.
With entire chapters devoted to the 2016 Armed Forces Salute, to Shades of Green, and to other deals and perks available to military families, I can’t recommend it enough!!
It’s available as a PDF–probably the most convenient format–here, and on Amazon.com here
.
And all the millions of the rest of you are my favorites too! Thank you for your service, and God bless! Wherever you are, and whatever you do, my gratitude goes with you.
