We all come from a history of great Americans who have founded and preserved this great nation.  Because of these great men that gave their lives to preserve this great nation, my birth father's family was able to immigrate to America.  My grandparents of Indian, Mexican and Spanish decent had a vision of a better tomorrow for their children and for their posterity if these freedoms were secured and the liberties protected.

Desiring to protect these liberties, my birth father along with his brothers went to Vietnam to fight for freedom. My birth father only saw me through a window in a hospital before he had to return to Vietnam.  He gave his life in defense of these freedoms ten months after I was born.  

​

My adopted father had family members who fought in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War to preserve this great union, and for our freedom in the Korean War.

My wife's grandfather was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for valor during World War II in the Pacific Theater.  My sons have served in Civil Air Patrol locally and my daughter in the Army National Guard.  These are a few in a long line of family that have served to secure freedoms and to protect the blessings of liberty.
