In honor of Veterans Day, we would like to share stories of the veteran in your life. Please send us a brief (as in 100 words) write-up on the individual who served and a picture, if possible.

This is a picture of my dad, Jack Anderson, in front of a B-57 in Vietnam. He served nearly one year over there in 1968/1969 in the Air Force with the 8th Tactical Bomb Squadron. He’s the one in the middle with his arms on the napalm bombs. A definite hero in my book. Thanks, dad! Love, Kate
