Much of today’s show is a re-broadcast of last year but there are some new things included. Take time today and think about all the sacrifices made by our vet, thank a vet and expect something different at the end of today’s show.
I used last years audio only because it said all that needed to be said. To all vets out there that listen to TSP this show is especially for you, thank you for your service and thank you for the honor you so clearly demonstrate. Thank you also for listening to TSP, that indeed is an honor for me to know how many vets out there find TSP worth taking time to listen to.
