This is a culmination of the sixty-five-year history of the experiences and events of all our veterans. Our nation should never forget the great sacrifices made by all veterans and their families for this great nation. We should also remember that veterans never stop giving to their jobs, communities, and families. My mentor, Joseph C. H. Bales, inspired all of us through his leadership, friendship, and vision as a charter member.
