Today, I am thinking about my dad, and my brother Dave, and my Uncle BJ. I did not lose them all to COVID, just my dad. However, this July 4th is particularly painful for me because all three were proud Vets. On this day, it was their tradition to go fishing and grill out. Sometimes they’d include us, but often it was just the three of them.

“This,” (what is going on in this country) would have made them sick to their stomachs.
