Veterans for Brad



Veterans and their families have sacrificed more for their country than many of us will ever know.

Their sacrifice has been too great for us to forget about them as soon as they put their uniform away.

But I also remember our country coming together as one, united in common purpose to heal our pain, rebuild our spirit, and move our nation forward. Today, we join together once again to remember those who lost their lives and honor the …
