MY FAVORITE VETERAN

My uncle, Ross Cody, is gone now but served with honor and valor in Europe during WWII. He was with the 101st Airborne and on D-Day flew in a glider behind enemy lines to cause a distraction. He later served throughout Europe. It was a service that he talked about only infrequently but one that is denoted through the many medals he received long after the war.

His service was remembered in a Memorial Certificate received by his wife shortly after his death in April of 2015 signed by President Barak Obama.

It is this type of person that we remember and pay honor to on this Veteran's Day.
