November 11th Topic - Veteran

Write about a war veteran you have known of, or known personally.

At first, I had to think if I even knew a war veteran. Then, I remembered my grandpa was a veteran. He didn't talk much about the time that he served. I only knew that he served from the Navy picture that my grandma kept in her room and his tattoos. By the time I was little, his skin was like worn leather and he had to stretch it out so I could see them better. The only one I remember is the scorpion. I wish I knew where the handsome picture of my grandpa in his navy hat was.
