Player Spotlight: Veteran, Michael S!

My Uncle, Grandfather and Great Grandfather fought valiantly for the freedoms we enjoy today. All of them fought with great sacrifice. It was my Great Grandfather that paid the ultimate price. He lost his life and he was never recovered for a proper burial. I bow my head and heart for those that continue to fight with such selflessness. Always remembered!

My time in the service allowed me to see new places and learn how people in other countries as well as other states live. I was in during the Vietnam conflict from 1963 to 1967.

My uncle served, but my father, being younger missed the call up. He remembers the stories his brother relayed and was grateful he wasn’t there. He always held him in awe for his experiences.

My husband served in Vietnam, and now has cancer due to agent orange exposure. When he returned home he was given a hero’s welcome due to the times he was spit on, but he doesn’t complain about it and never asks for recognition. Says it was his duty as an American. He will always be a Hero to me.

On this Veterans Day, we are honored and pleased to feature a Solitaire TriPeaks-playing Veteran, Michael S. In our every day lives, we often forget how fortunate we are to have people like Michael who serve, and sometimes pay the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Cheers to you, Michael, and to every Vet we have the pleasure of meeting in our lives.

And then, for a chance at 15K Coins, 5 Wild Cards and 5 Volcano Cards, leave us one or two sentences that applies to whichever situation fits you best:

  1. If you’re a Vet, your favorite memory from the time you served.
  2. If you’re related to a Vet, tell us a little about him or her.
  3. If you’re a civilian, and don’t know any Vets, let us know what you’d like to say to a Vet.

We will choose 5 people at random who answer the question posed to award the prizes. Of course, especially in this situation, it’s much less about the prizes than the content. :slight_smile:

USAF Veteran 90% disabled service connected. Favorite memory of service time hands down was our company soft ball tournament and taking the team all the way to championships. Currently I just do my best to help other veterans who struggle and educate the masses or individuals who need it about the struggles of veterans that aren’t as visible as a leg amputation.
