A Salute to our Veterans

I couldn’t let today go by without a salute to our veterans, especially those nearest & dearest to my heart - first and foremost, my brother, 1st LT Nathan Kane (he’ll be a Captain in the spring!). He recently served our country as an intelligence officer by making decisions regarding convoy routes in Iraq. Due to his service, he missed the first year of his precious baby girl’s life. They are now making up for lost time, thanks be to God! Nathan continues to work for our country as a civilian in the Washington State Army Reserves training soldiers headed to the Mideast. Please keep these men & women in your prayers.

We are blessed to have several other veterans in the family as well - my brother-in-law, Adam Tesmer, served as a fire fighter in the Army Reserves in Bosnia; my Grandpa Hatt served as a submariner in the south Pacific in WWII. Grandma Hatt is not technically a veteran, but she signed up as a cadet nurse in WWII, and thankfully the war ended before she was asked to serve. We can count several more veterans in the extended family. Thanks be to God for bringing them all home safely and may they be blessed for their selflessness.

May God bless America!

    Your comments made tears in my eyes. We have been blessed that no relative that I’m aware of lost their life in a war, but many friends were killed in WWII. We owe a lot to all those veterans.
    Thank you, Jenny
    Love, G’ma Hatt

    Thanks for the thoughts on Veterans Day. Just wanted to let you know that I am still a uniformed service member, and so I go to work in camouflage. Not as a civilian but a member of the Army Reserves. I’m no longer affiliated with any state, it’s not like the National Guard where it’s state based, the Reserves are a Federal entity just like the Active Army. The good thing about that is no chance of getting called up for natural disasters, that’s the National Guard’s job!

    Again, thanks for the support, I love you guys.
