To my grandfather Corporal Carl North who survived the entire Battle of the Bulge at the front, my great uncle Petty Officer First Class Jay Blackburn who served in the Pacific, My grandfather Captain (doctor) Albert Gleason who flew on the B-17s over Germany and my father Specialist Thomas Gleason who enlisted during the Vietnam War while “better men” ran for the border. To the countless men and women veterans I have served as trauma therapist- you are the best of us and you are never forgotten. Happy Veteran’s Day.
