Thanks you Veterans

I just want to take this day to thank Veterans for what they've done for us. In fact, I want to give a special shout out to my uncle Paul who served on a B-17 during World War II. You can see his picture below. Veterans Day was yesterday, but frankly I think we need to doff our caps to Veterans everyday. Their sacrifice over the years has kept this country free.





















That's Uncle Paul in the center of the front row!




The wars are different, but the faces are much the same. The needs and longings of the soldiers and their families continue down through the years.








Our soldiers are men and women, sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandfathers and grandmothers, and dear friends.







They give above and beyond all that anyone should ever have to give.



Marine Staff Sgt John Jones by Timothy Greenfield Sanders



Freedom comes at a high cost. May we never take it for granted or dismiss the value of our veterans' efforts. God Bless each and every soldier and their families. May you live in protection and encouragement - as we live in the freedom and safety you have provided.





Thanking you today and everyday.
