Veterans Day - Honoring Our Military - Photos
It's Veterans Day in the USA and we proudly salute the veterans, both men and women, who have served our nation with honor, dignity, pride and sacrifice. We remember--and we thank you. Our flag will forever fly and we are forever free, thanks to you and to the blessings and grace of God on our nation. May God bless each veteran whose life we celebrate today. Stand proudly, veterans everywhere - we salute you!

With Praise for Aging Veterans
A veteran's not a rookie.
A vet has paid his dues.
A veteran knows the hell of war
just nuanced in the news.
A veteran loves his country.
With pride he greets its flag.
He stands up straight (still soldier-like)
although his shoulders sag.
A veteran knows life's precious.
Old memories make him cry.
He wonders why God let him live
when he watched others die.
A veteran models friendship.
His buddies know he cares.
Although they live twelve states away,
he'll find a way to share.
In Saving Private Ryan,
civilians got to see
the bond this band of brothers feel
when one's in jeopardy.
I've seen what I'm describing.
You see, my dad's a vet.
His brave example makes me proud
of who he is. And yet
my dad's just one of millions
who fought so we'd be free.
Without regard for life or limb
they served us selflessly.
So how can we repay them?
It seems there's just no way,
except perhaps to honor them
with thanks on Veterans' Day.

A TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED VETERANS........WE LOVE AND HONOR YOU!
"Now, don't forget," my mother urged.
"Remember to say thanks."
She taught me those four magic words
when I was prone to pranks.
I've thought about my mom's advice
quite often since I've grown.
Her simple words were quite profound.
Their truth is clearly shown.
When I recall what soldiers did
to keep our nation free
my sense of gratitude's renewed
for those who fought for me.
When I reflect on those in town
who wear a uniform,
my mind replays the risks they take
to keep me safe and warm.
When we remember, heroes live.
When we forget, they die.
Remembering births gratitude
(although it makes us cry).
So let's remember to give thanks.
You won't if you forget.
Thank God for veterans you have known
and those you've never met.
