Honoring our Vietnam Veterans, this morning, at the Augusta-CSRA Vietnam War Veterans Memorial in downtown Augusta. Privileged to live in this great nation and truly humbled when reflecting upon the sacrifices of those who "gave some" and those who made the ultimate sacrifice and "gave all." God bless America and God bless our Veterans.

Take time to recognize a Vietnam Veteran today for their extraordinary service and sacrifices. We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude for their heroic actions during the Vietnam War. #NationalVietnamWarVeteransDay
