Today is Veteran’s Day and I am thankful for those who have served to defend the freedoms, liberties and privileges we have in America.
I am blessed to be related to and know many veterans. My dad did two tours in Vietnam, my granddaddy served in WWII in the Philippines and my cousin has been to the Middle East. Mickey’s grandpa also served in WWII. I don’t want to go too far in mentioning names because the last thing I want to do is accidentally not mention someone. So, just let me say that I am thankful for each and every one that has served and protected. Today we celebrate veterans, but I want to also thank those in active duty who are either defending our nation presently or “at the ready” to serve on the front lines when called. Thank you!
Freedom is certainly not free and we owe a debt of gratitude and respect to those who have gone before us in serving, those serving still and those who will some day heed the call to serve. These men and women are brave heroes who deserve honor not just today, but every day. Again…THANK YOU!
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. – John 15:13
