I know there are many, many more veterans who are not named in our communities living right beside us. Ask any older (mostly men) if they were in the service. For some reason not all volunteer this information.
They will tell you it was just what you did. They are proud, humble, brave soliders of our “America”. They lost a lot of brothers, sons, fathers and friends as we are losing now.
It is really great and a wonderful thing to see our generation honor them. So as we go on about our daily lives let us thank, reconize and pray for all those who have gone to battle for us and those in battle for us right now and dieing as you read this.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. To GOD be the glory for a land like America and the brave soliders he created.
As it is often said nothing is free.
I pray that I will see and reconize my heros’ this week. If you come across one or more, tell them thank you, may GOD bless them for me please.
