Here’s the second part of October article on Celebrating our Veteran Jim Urban. Read all about his life!

“As an American, my passion for the military extends back to my roots and growing up in a small town in Augusta, Kentucky. As a kid, I would look out the window at school and see the older kids raising the American flag in the morning and taking it down in the afternoon. When I got to the 6th grade, it was always a big deal for me to be selected to help raise the flag. Written by Melissa LaScaleia.
