My great uncle was a career Navy man working his way up through the enlisted ranks to retire as a Lt. Commander..Spencer "Jack" Horner spent some time on the BB Colorado back in the late 30's..While serving on the Colorado during this time,he was involved in the search for Amelia Earhart..That is a neat thing to have in your family's history..My family has a "rich" history of serving in the military and we have a few folks serving in the military now..I have a nephew Ltjg.Chris McGrath serving in the Navy now flying F-18's,and my uncle's grandson Nick Speegle is serving in the 10th Mtn Division and is on his way back in harm's way..

The Veterans Site was founded to provide nourishing meals for our country's homeless and hungry veterans and their families. With a simple, daily click of the blue "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button at The Veterans Site, visitors help provide meals to veterans in need. Visitors pay nothing. Meals are paid for by the site's sponsors and distributed by charity partners of The Veterans Site. Visitors can help more by shopping in The Veterans Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers fund even more meals for homeless and hungry veterans and their families. The store offers a wide array of items to show your support as well as fair-traded and handcrafted items from around the world.
