    Happy Veterans Day To All! Thank you for your service. A Special Thank You to our youngest son, Ricco S. McAdory, resident of Irondale, AL. Ricco served in the U.S. Navy, 2002-2004 on the USS Carl Vinson, one of the first ships to conduct strikes against Afghanistan in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Ricco was among those who participated in the first response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. We are proud to say that this Navy Fireman and Electrician is the son of Robert and Dorothy McAdory.
