Travel Securely Securely Travel
Throughout my life I have always been in proximity to the members of the U.S. Armed Services. My second, third and fourth grade of primary school was provide at a DOD school in Turkey; the first USO show I saw (yes it was Bob Hope) was also in Turkey at US Air Force base in the early-1960s.
As I grew older, so did my appreciation for those who serve the United States, at home and abroad. As an adult, I chose a path which guaranteed that I would be intersecting with the men and women of all branches of the U.S. Military.
It is therefore with great pleasure that I and my family, as well as all of us here at Securely Travel wish each and every veteran a joyous Veterans Day this Monday, 11 November 2019. We thank you for your service.
