Taylor Germann “I want to give a big THANK YOU to all the men and women who have served this country. Your dedica-tion and the sacrifices you pay are appreciated and respected. Without your commitment to our country, we would not be able to accomplish many of the goals we set for ourselves.” Addison Brizendine “When I look at the American flag I think of my Papa who served in the Vietnam War and the sacrifices he made for his family and his country. He had a very strong work ethic and a gentle heart. I appreciate what the military does to provide the freedom we have to do the things we love to do.” Isaac Stafford “When I look at the American flag I think of freedom. I think of the soldiers who go out to protect us everyday, and I think of the success of this nation, and how peo-ple everyday are trying to improve it.” Lakyn Hartley “THANK YOU to those who have or are serving, for you and your fam-ily’s sacrifice for our country. My papa, Denny Benson, served in the Army, in a military police company. Thank you to the many other family members and friends have served or are serving now. I appreciate their sacrifice and am proud and thankful to live in the USA. “ Grant King “My dad recently retired as a lieu-tenant colonel in the Missouri Army National Guard after 26 years of ser-vice, and he is also a former Marine. I am proud to be an American and it’s only because of his service and the sacrifices of others that we live in the land of the free. So, a HUGE THANK YOU, for serving to protect our freedom and to keeping our country free.” 23 Jaycie Lowery “When I look at the American flag, I see a reminder of the sacrifices that military members made to fight for our country. Thank you for your service, Dave Schulte and Steve Brown, who have filled the role of honorary golf grandpas. To our troops, I am grateful for your service and the sacrifices you have made to make sure we are safe here in this country.”
