Deb must have known a SECOND LIEUTENANT or two.
Let's salute the last three veterans this week…
Deb Inovejas: Vail, AZ; 22-year Air Force veteran, retired as a master sergeant; she and her husband joined the Air Force together, got married, and retired together; they have three kids (two of them grown); 34 of their relatives have served in the military (and 26 are currently serving)
Curtis Durham: Redlands, CA; 20-year Coast Guard veteran; married to Marlo with two daughters, a son, and a grandson; his grandfather served at the Battle of the Bulge and Normandy in World War II; shaved almost all his hair the week prior to taping because he couldn't cut his hair like Pat's
Chris Anger: Orange, CA; nine-year Navy veteran, received the branch's Achievement Medal; he lives with his girlfriend Diane (a teacher), her son, and their two dogs; his two grandfathers served in WWII, his dad in Vietnam; his two sons are in the Air Force
Pat tells Deb to thank her relatives for their service. Then he tells Curtis he got his hair from a recent dry-cleaning. Then Chris shouted out all the teachers out there.

…is good enough – for just the second word. After our beloved hostess gushes over Deb's first guess of WE LOVE VANNA, Deb tries talking it out with WE LOVE MILITARY, WE LOVE AMERICA, WE LOVE WHEEL, and WE LOVE DEBBIE at the buzzer.
Pat: "All those things are true, but wrong!"
Deb: [sees the answer and laughs out loud]
Pat: "She was being sweet, and she was waxing, patriotic, and loving, and we're doing pizza."
WE LOVE PIZZA around here (well, at least I do), but Deb loses $40,000 and we've been SKUNKED. She'll have to settle for $15,999.
CHAT: Vanna loves Deb's first answer, "WE LOVE VANNA," but Pat implies it's only because the last word didn't have three letters. Towards the end, he closes out the episode by saying "we do love Vanna." But in between, he tells our veterans and "veterans-to-be" (active-duty service members)…
