Jennifer Beck Furber shares:

I’m the daughter of a marine, friend of fallen soldier. For me, patriotism is politically unbiased. As a child, my grandparents always taught me about service to country, pride in a uniform. I believe a bit of each grandparent lives inside my heart, and I’ll always show respect to a person in uniform and teach my girls to do the same.
