Happy Veteran’s Day to all our Veterans. Thank you for your service and your commitment. You all are definitely Don’t Forget Abouts…people.

There are a number of veterans in my family and some are still on active duty. My father, my wife, a number of cousins and numerous friends are all veterans. I want to acknowledge them and the countless others who have sacrificed to serve this country.

I was told about this tragedy this morning and asked to do something with it because of my passion for change. And in accordance with what this site is all about, I’m sure that Derrion Albert is a Don’t Forget Abouts person in some people’s lives.

This is really hard to do. My cousin Eddie passed away on September 17, 2009. He was only five years older than me. He died of a very rare stomach cancer, I believe my father said two out of a million people get this type of cancer. I’m rarely at a loss for words, but I’m struggling to share this here. It’s been years since Eddie and I were close. He used to babysit my brother and me. Take us over his girlfriend’s house and we had to sit in the car. And we always threatened to tell on him.
