Patriotic

I am a very patriotic person. I salute the flag and stand for the National Anthem. My parents were at a fireworks show when my mom went into labor with me and I was born on the 5th of July. I am even distantly related to one of the Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson is my seventh cousin seven times removed. It’s pretty far back. Our common ancestors are my 13th great-grandparents, Roger Copley and Elizabeth Shelley Copley.

I come from a long line of military veterans going back to the American Revolution. I served as in the Navy, my sister served in the Air Force and her son is currently serving in the Army. I have worked for the Veterans Administration for over 20 years and my son has worked at a VA Medical Center for three years now.
