EDINBURGH, Ind. — Vice President-elect Mike Pence has recalled his late father's modesty about his Korean War service during a Veterans Day speech in Indiana that included only brief mentions of Donald Trump's victory as president.
During remarks at the Indiana National Guard's Camp Atterbury, Pence didn't speak Friday about his new role as leader of Trump's transition team. Reporters were kept at a distance.
The Indiana governor told about 200 people that he and others who didn't serve in the military should be especially grateful to those like his father and his son, who became a Marine Corps officer last year.

I was fortunate enough to have been there also. Although I missed the first few minutes of his speech because of the security (45 minutes in line, but expected). He was very humble and sincere. After the speech he took time to shake hands and was very personable. He made my 7 year old daughter blush when he started asking her questions. lol
Thank you for this post SFC Davis! People need to know that our vice president is taking time out of his schedule to honor those who are serving and those who have.
