Thank you, Veterans!

This story from Veterans Day 2023 was and always will be one of the favorites I’ve ever had the pleasure to write.

Veteran Dave Grahek and his wife shared about his courage in battle and receiving the equivalent of three Purple Hearts.

After being published in the Caledonia Argus, it was published in the print version of the MN Legionnaire, circulation of 58,000. Then the national Legion posted it on its website.

What an incredible story about an American hero!

May God bless all of our veterans — past and present — and keep them safe as they protect us from foreign and domestic terrorists.

God bless the USA!
