My great grandpas, the veterans

Happy Veteran’s Day! Mommy and daddy tell me that this special day honors all veterans, like my two great grandfathers, for their willingness to serve and sacrifice for our country. My daddy’s grandfather, Lester Kenneth Herman, was a captain in the U.S. Army who served in World War II in Europe. My mommy’s grandfather, Emanuel Roth, was a sergeant in the U.S. Army and also served during World War II in Italy. Maybe they knew each other. Even though I’ll never get to meet either of them, I’m super proud of my great grandpas and honored to be named after both of them. I hope they like my fatigues. J
