Today is Veteran’s Day. Please remember to take the time to thank the veterans you know and pray for all veterans. Remember also their families who also have sacrificed. Military widows should be the top priority as their sacrifice is the greatest. Were it not for these sacrifices, we would not enjoy the freedoms we have today.
Veterans Day is a day to remember the individual soldiers who fought in our wars. It doesn’t matter whether they wanted to be there or not, whether people agree with the reason for the war or not. They were there, they were fighting for our country, and they should be remembered for it.
By honoring these men and women, we honor not only their valiance, but also the values for which they fought. They sacrificed to uphold the values upon which our country was founded and which we hold on high. They fought to guarantee us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Time and again, they have fought forces that threatened our society and way of life.
Without their efforts, we would have lost our freedom. The freedoms we have in our country are unparalleled in most other nations, and we should be proud of them and therefore proud of those who put their lives on the line to protect those freedoms for us.
Today provides not only a chance to thank the veterans and their families but also a time of reflection and thanksgiving for what we have. How many of our freedoms do we take for granted? How often do we actually pause and give thanks to God for living in a country that allows freedom of religion, speech, assembly, etc.?
Today, take the time. Reflect and thank all those who provide us our freedom. Thank the veterans and spend time on your knees thanking God.
To all my Brothers and Sisters in Arms: THANK YOU!

ReplyDeleteJD,
ReplyDeleteIt takes a special person to serve in the military. They have to have dedication, compassion and honor, true leaders. We've lost many good people in the process of maintaining our wonderful country.
I also think one of the most influential people I personally ever met in the military was you. I remember the guidance you gave me from the day I got to Chanute. I remember the day you made sure my MIA bracelet was securely on my wrist. I felt that dedication you have.
I know I am late, but Happy Veteran's Da to you. I was thinking of you and your father. THANK YOU~ for being true inpiration! May God continue to bless you!
