"Listen to me, brother, you said it in your speech." Doug scanned and found the line he wanted. "I have known the luxury of freedom all of my life. The freedom earned by those who have served before me. That’s my favorite line. I like it because it’s true. The luxury of freedom. Freedom earned. And now it’s our generation’s turn, and you are that representative. My brave brother, the Warrior of Indian City. It really comes down to this. Grandpa froze and starved so we can enjoy the simple pleasures of being together and laughing. Dad left part of his soul in the Mekong Delta for us to have Christmas Eve parties and toys on our birthdays. The full measure of devotion."

Douglas Veverka pays tribute to his family's American experience through their multi generational story of service, struggle, and sacrifice.
