You're listening to Family Talk, the radio broadcasting division of the James Dobson Family Institute.

I am that James Dobson, and I'm so pleased that you've joined us today. Veterans Day edition of Family Talk.

I'm Roger Marsh, and like many of you,

here at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute,

we recognize the courageous veterans
