Veteran's Day

With honor, respect, and extreme gratitude, I remember all who have served, and are serving, our country, and thank them for their sacrifices as they have fought, and are fighting, to preserve our freedoms.  Your service to our country has not gone unnoticed, and I think of you daily as I look at our flag with a humble heart, and think of all who have given up so much to keep this country free.  Thank you!  Thank you for your willingness to fight for me!  












War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. --John Stewart Mill-- 










“Without the brave efforts of all the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines and their families, this Nation, along with our allies around the world, would not stand so boldly, shine so brightly and live so freely.”  ~Lane Evans
