Veteran’s Day 2011


Something to consider as we honor those who have, and continue to, serve our country: it doesn’t matter where you’re from, somebody died so you could enjoy the freedoms that this great democracy is founded upon. I would like to take a moment from my day and from yours to thank our armed forces and all veterans of foreign wars. The picture to the left is of my father who served in the Marine Corps in the 1st Division, Recon from 1967-1969 at a time when not many had a choice but to offer themselves upon the alter of freedom. At a time when the Vietnam conflict was unraveling, we know that all gave some and some gave all. Join me in making every day Veteran’s Day; hold our veterans in your thoughts and in your prayers every day of the year. We must recognize that Freedom is not free. One way to get involved: The Patriot Guard
