Thank you veterans!

Today is Veterans Day and, while I'm thankful and appreciative to all veterans every day, today is a great opportunity to share some fascinating, informative and interesting links with you.

First, check out my latest Examiner.com Entrepreneur Spotlight interview with Rob Levin. Rob is a former Marine, former UConn MBA classmate of mine and founder of WickedShot.com. Read the article here: http://bit.ly/3njSfc.

Next, I have always been amazed by my grandfather Edward Poltrack's stories of being an Army Air Force pilot in the South Pacific in WWII. One of my favorite stories involves a harrowing flight from I think New Guinea to Australia with a critically important objective - beer! Another story, recounted here (http://www.sunsetters38bg.com/index.php/Articles/BLACK-SUNDAY.html) is much more intense, and definitely worth a read.

And finally, I love these photos:

Take some time today to appreciate the the veterans in your life, and give thanks to the sacrifice that all veterans and those currently serving have made on our behalf.
