On this Veterans Day I wanted to pay homage to and Thank all the members of my family how have served and are serving in the armed forced for our country.
First on the list is my Grandfather William Edmond Doutt. He was 17 when he joined the Army in 1898 to serve in the Spanish American War. He served in Puerto Rico as a Wagon Driver until he was severely injured and spent 6 month in the Hospital in San Juan. He married my Grandmother in 1899 and they had 11 Children.
My husband, David, served in the Airforce as an electronic technician during the late 60's and early 70's. We were married when he got back stateside.
My Brother Wayne and his Wife Sharyn both served in the Army during the late 1980's and early 1990's both were sent to the first Gulf War. They married while they were in the Army and were stationed around the world.
My Nephew Matthew Served in the Army in the 2010's and is now Going to College.
My Grandson Trevor is currently serving with the Marines. We are very proud of him.
Thank you to all of you for your service and your sacrifices of time and talent to keep us all safe.
