Lloyd S. Graham, II - U.S. Navy (biological father, May he rest in peace)
Max S. Grudzinski - U.S. Navy (step-father, May he rest in peace)
David L. Ripski- U.S. Navy (son)
LeiLani Ripski -U.S. Air Force (daughter-in-law)
Kevin. D. Ripski - U.S. Navy (son)

These are my immediate family members that have proudly served in the past or are proudly serving on the present. There are many, many more in my family who have served and whose children currently serve.

I am so proud of ALL of the men and women who have sacrificed so much in order for us to be free. Thank you and your families!! As the saying goes. "Freedom Isn't Free"!

My husband is now retired from the Army, we have many family and friends who are either active, retired or who have passed on.

I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure it will cost us to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states. Yet through all the gloom I see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth all the means. This is our day of deliverance.

John Adams (1735–1826)

For my uncle and friend in Vietnam, my 2 cousins in Afghanistan. DBF's dad in Korea for keeping us free. And for John and Daniel who built my home and who started what we have today. Our independence. For all my friends and family that fought for me. Thank you !
