Veteran's day
 
Happy Veteran's Day [celebrated today in the United States] to those on the board who have served. To those who have not served...Remember your Freedom isn't Free. When you see a veteran remember that they have sacrificed so much. From the shower they did without for weeks, to the ground they slept on. MRE's in the field, dirty clothes they wore, the time away from loved ones they spent. Every drop of blood they shed. This was all done for you. Thank them and honor them. Leisa

I thank them all for keeping us safe. My dad was in WW2 and my husband was in Korea. I remember the fear of our family and the thrill we felt when they came home.

Will pray for your son/daughter safe return and into your family safe arms. I too, had a husband and two of my sons in the military. Spent many a day/night on my knees praying for them. They all said they were glad they served and I am so thankful to God, so this time of the year means a lot to all our family.

Happy Veterans Day as well to everyone that has children/spouses serving, I served for 12 years been through 2 war duties, I've got no regrets I'd do it all over again, I was discharged medically from a wound but that fire inside of me is still down there wanting to go back if I could. There's no better way to say your proud of your country and your freedom otherthan putting on that uniform and boots. It's also the Marine Corp's birthday this week as well!
