Good morning,
Thank you for the links. I got me an ol' Green Beret right here. I will go thank him personally right now. But I still will not let him jump out of perfectly good helicopters anymore. (even if it is Veterans' Day) -- I know he still wants to. Boomer Last edited by Boomer; 11-11-2008 at 08:23 AM. |

Today 11-11
At 11 AM I vow to honor all veterans with silence, deep gratitude and prayers.
A pittance of time. Today, I will stop at the veterans memorial and lay a flower for my Dad, a Korean war veteran, his 1st Veterans day in heaven. A flower for Greg Belanger, my friend killed in Iraq. A flower for my Pa a WWII POW hero. And one more flower for all the veterans. I will say a prayer that God watch over and keep all those away from home safe. Thank you to all who have served our country for our freedom and liberty. I will never forget. Godspeed! |

We attended a wonderful service on Sunday. As a part of the service always, the local veterans' organizations call the names of those members who have passed away during the last year. A name is called, as in a roll call, and the name is repeated by another who then says,..."does not answer the call." It is a very moving tribute. World War II veterans are leaving us so fast now.
....... One of the things I recently heard was about a bumper sticker. We have all seen the one that says, "If you can read this, thank a teacher." Well, I heard that there is also one that says, "If you can read this in English, thank a veteran." Thank you. Boomer Last edited by Boomer; 11-11-2008 at 10:03 AM. |
