He’s no longer with us but that’s one of the reasons why I’ve partnered up with USAA in leading an effort for everybody out there, amidst all the swimming and the barbecues, to leave a digital tribute for the folks that you know, or not, just folks that have given so much even their lives for this country that we live in. I’m very grateful for my father for taking the time to go over that with us. Obviously, still have fun, but we were all taught to respect and remember what this holiday represents. I had a father that served so early on in my life I was taught to respect this holiday.
