Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Veteran Jeremy Piatt. His father and grandfather served in the U.S. Navy. So once he graduated high school, he decided to join. He started with the Navy in 2003 and served four years on active duty. Then, in 2007, he decided to take his talents to the Army, where he served for about five years. Now a disabled veteran, Piatt struggles with post traumatic stress disorder. And over the last four years, he and his fiance have been purchasing and raising birds as emotional support animals. It doesn’t end there, he and his fiance share their love for these birds. Jeremy travels throughout the local area visiting senior citizens alongside two ducks that he hatched and raised, named, “Carmel” and “Peepers.” Jeremy says it’s good for them as much as it is for him. “Coming into the nursing home, it’s no place for somebody to be depressed. They’re still living their life,” he said. “As long as I’m alive, I’m definitely going to keep on doing this and serving my country.”  Thank you Jeremy for sharing your support and THANK YOU for your service.
