Veteran's Day
One day a year we honor our veterans. Really we should honor and thank them every day for it is every day that we enjoy the freedoms that they fight/fought so very hard for, for which they left loved ones and home behind, for which they laid their lives on the line, for which they endured days in cold winds or hot desert sun, nights without sleep, weeks without being able to wrap their arms around their wife or daughter or son or father or mother or anyone who would even vaguely know them for being more than just a soldier. Every day is in essence "veteran's day" for it is every day that they willingly choose to be a soldier so that we can go about our lives without having to think about the possibility of not having these freedoms. My father was a WWII veteran and like so many spent years after the war without even talking about his experiences. My cousins and older friends were Vietnam vets and suffered great scars for many years after they had returned home. May GOD bless each and every soldier who has ever enlisted or been drafted or has wanted to enlist but been turned away for medical reasons. May GOD bless our country. May we honor those who preserve it by showing in some small way that we do remember...and appreciate....and cherish..... them all..
