Arts Corner: Thanking our veterans, through prose and poetry

By Tabitha Bozeman On Veterans Day, we will celebrate the many citizens who have spent years, and often lifetimes, dedicated to military service for our nation. There have been many veterans in my family, including my great-grandfather, grandfather and my own father who served in the Army for many years. Last year, my daughter wrote about my daddy for her Veterans Day project. It is a special keepsake that I treasure now. This year, she is writing about her other grandfather, her Papa. My father-in-law is a veteran of the Air Force and Air National Guard. Over the course of his service, he collected many medals and honors, as well as many adventures. We have all loved hearing about his experiences, and his granddaughters have been fascinated with his stories. This year, she was unable to share her report on him at school, so she is my guest writer this week.
