Happy Veterans Day

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Today I give you three very special veterans
My son, my father and my future son-in-law.

  1. Pretty impressive, on a day like today it makes you think more about their passion for fredom.Today when they played taps everyone became misty eyed, and I am sure the salutes were being sent to someone special.My hat off to Applebees offering out free meals to vets today. A local grocery had free breakfast.

  15. Wonderful picture. Great set of heros you have in your life. As a Vet myself I feel the service men today are getting a raw deal. You are suppose to spend a year there. Some are extended and some go right back.That is pushing fate to the limit.I will be glad when all our service men and women are home.
    I won't do any venting. I just want to let them know that our prayers are with them.
