When duty called, America’s veterans answered, risking life and limb in service to their fellow citizens. Their selfless sacrifice and dedication to our nation’s values is the reason why we can enjoy the freedoms we so deeply cherish.
I still remember when my parents bought their first house – the same one they live in today. It wasn’t until I was in my twenties and the summer after graduating from the University of Arizona. Up until then, our family of five had lived in a two-bedroom apartment. It was a lifelong goal that my parents worked towards day in and day out.
