They both care deeply about providing quality service to our American Veterans, Servicemen and Disabled Veterans. Kathy states, “I, and my siblings, were actually all born in military hospitals – Maryland, Germany and Fort Hood. My father served our country with great pride, retiring with 22 years in the U.S. Army. His military service included major campaigns in WWII, Korea, the Philippines and Indo-China. He gave proudly to our nation…and later in life had many health issues as a result of his service. My sweet brother-in-law is also a paraplegic Disabled Veteran. He and all of our veterans absolutely deserve the very best care, equipment and resources available to them.”
