Veteran's Day

Many people ask, " Who is a veteran?" There are many different views about what makes someone a veteran but I thought I would share with you the answer  that I like the most. :)

 Possibly the best answer to the question, "Who is a veteran," was answered by an unknown author who  once said:

"Whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." - That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it."

I agree with this author wholeheartedly! I will share with you some links to other webpages and some pictures that are very meaningful to me.

Here are some pictures of family and friends that serve our county:

Here is a poem written in honor of Veteran's Day:

Words cannot express how important
those who serve our country are.
Their courage and determination have
guaranteed the freedoms we enjoy.
This year, I am especially moved by
and thankful for all that these
men and women do.
They will never be forgotten.

Happy Veteran's Day
