Thank you Maj.Gen.William S. Chen and your family's three generations of military service, and to all veterans for your service, your contributions, and sacrifices!

"Veterans Day honors those who have served in the U.S. armed forces. Often it may be difficult to recognize veterans. But, when you see them in their WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan baseball caps, t-shirts, or sweat shirts -- take the time to greet and thank them for their service. You don't have to just wait until it's Veterans Day -- thank them when you see them!"

-Maj.Gen.William S. Chen, U.S. Army Retired
