🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸
I couldn’t let the day pass without recognizing all of our veterans! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! ❤️🤍💙
I also couldn’t let the day pass without recognizing the one and only Gertie Haire!
I had the privilege of visiting with this strong veteran woman this morning. Gertie proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam era at Fort Lee, Virginia as an Operating Room Technician.
She comes from a long line of military service with over 30 family members who have served our country. 🇺🇸 What an incredible legacy of courage, dedication, and love for this nation.
Her s***k, wit, and caring charm are second to none. She has a big heart for her family, community, and country AND she still stays active, walking up to 5 miles a day!
Gertie, you are truly a hero of mine.
Thank you for your service and for continuing to inspire us all! ❤️💙
