Through a veteran’s eyes

With Veterans Day being tomorrow, I thought I’d do something I haven’t done before, have a guest writer for my column. I’m not a veteran, but I am a daughter, niece, granddaughter, and cousin of veterans. I still have the jewelry box my Uncle Donald brought back from Japan, from his time serving in the Marines. I treasure the fact he thought of me, his first niece and goddaughter, while he was on the other side of the world. No Internet. No technology like we have now. But he still thought of me, when I imagine he likely had stronger concerns on his mind.
