As we observe Veteran's Day, I stand very proud knowing that my brother Specialist Sanchez fought to defend the freedom of this country along with many others who share the same passion and ambition. I would like to take the time to express how grateful I am to have all of you men and women who risk your lives on a daily basis to protect ours. God bless you all.
