I met Craig L. at a recent photoshoot in Dayton, Minnesota. Our brief conversation led to Craig talking about his service to our country as a Marine in the late 1970’s. I could see there was a sense of pride in his eyes as he spoke of his service. Likewise, when he mentioned his son who is currently serving, I could tell this man, this father of a soldier was proud of the path his son has taken. Craig’s life may not be easy, but this man is worthy of our appreciation. He served our country, but maybe more than that is he is our neighbor. When you meet the “Craigs” of our world say thank you, shake their hand, and maybe even buy them a cup of coffee.
