A very special thank you to all the men and women who have scarficed so much so that we may live in the Greatest Country in the World.  It is you who have allowed us to be free, to speak our opinions without fear, to follow our diverse dreams where they may lead us, to worship in the way that we choose.  May God bless all of you who defend us now and those who have served through the ages.  We shall never forget your contibutions that continue to keep us "the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave."

A personal thank you to my father, Col. Elbert L. Hull, my brother, Dennis L. Hull, Ramon, my husband, and his brothers, Jesus, Miquel, Jose,and Sylvester Arredondo, and to all the many generations of our families who served before and after them.  God bless you and God bless America!
