[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Woe is me

[Ericka]

My grandpa served WW2 and so did the husband of one of my dad‘s cousins. I don’t know exactly all the details but my grandpa was army Air Force my grandpa‘s baby brother served in the Navy as a cook. I support the military also as I have a cousin who is serving currently and so is his wife I don’t think they’ve been deployed recently. I also have a college friend who after desert Storm Came to college and that’s where I met her. She drove truck there. Anyhow, that’s really cool what you’re doing.
