Veterans Day

November 11th, Veterans Day in the Ole US of A. I was talking with a neighbor the other day and the subject of Veterans Day came up. He stated how how his kidswere looking forward to the "holiday". I of course, in my own seldom asked for opinion, corrected my neighbors slip of the tongue and stated that Veterans Day is not a "holiday" it is an observance, a day of comemoration. It is a day we gladly set aside to honor our Veterans from all walks of life, whether their service was in time of war or not. Anyone who wears the uniforms knows full well that at a moments notice they may be called upon to sacrifice their freedom and their life to insure that others can live free. So in America we set aside November 11th as a day to recognize the Bravery, the Honor, the Sacrifice, and the unselfish love of Country these great men and women represent. Without such men and women where would this great Nation be today? Make a commitment to thank a vet on November 11th, and also call your local VFW post just to say thank you. Let them know you care. And begin to live out Veterans Day everyday. When you see a uniformed service person, shake their hand and say thanks. You will be amazed at what that does. Also say thank you to those married to service personnel, they are just as much military as their spouse, and without them holding things together on the homefront, there is no way the soldier, sailor,airman,coast guardsman or marine could function properly. So observe Veterans Day as more than just a day off of school/work, commemorate it as a day of honor to our servicemen and women and their families. And say a prayer for all those serving and who have served. We are a great nation because of them, and we will remain a great nation because of them. So to all who have worn the uniform may I say"Thank you! and God Bless you, be at ease soldier, we hold your family in our arms as you hold the freedom of this nations in yours". God Bless America
