  AS I added this picture to this site I couldn't help but reflect at a much worse time in our History, a time when we were at war still, with many countries.   We haven't changed much, have we?   I wondered how many Veterans had looked out over the sunset to see flashes of grenades, smoke filled air and the stench of war in General.

Although, I am a female and have never experience war, one of my classmates did, and I can't help but think of him today and every Veterans Day.  You see, I grew up in a little town, where everyone knew everyone, and so it was.  My classmate joined the service before his Graduation Day in High School.  He left for the Service a few days later.  Before School started the next year he was already back home, in our little town, in his grave.

Times haven't changed much, as our children still go off to war, not only in other countries but in our own it seems.  The morels that I grew up with in our country are decaying like the graves of these Soldiers that fought so hard to keep our American values and to keep us free.   No one wants to pray, when prayer is what got so many of us through the tough times.  History tells us that our forefathers prayed, and prayed hard for what was right. 

I can see them at the town meeting, but before hand, bowing their heads to say, God help us to lead everyone in the right direction.  I have to pause at this and wonder, how many people in our Government today take that extra few minutes to bow their head and say to our Lord, Please Father in Heaven, help me to lead this country in the right direction.
I wonder this, along with so many other things about todays America.

Today though, I want to take just a minute to Thank Our Veterans for what they have done and have been through.  Many came back to unrest in the U.S.  Being jeered and spit at was not an option for them, but they did what they thought was right, just like so many of us do.  I just want you to know, that I APPRECIATE YOU!  That no matter what, I care about you and I am proud of that fact that you alone, along with many other stood up to Fight for what you thought was right.

SO THANK YOU MR. & MS. VETERAN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.  MAY IT ALWAYS STAND IN FAITH, IN FREEDOM AND IN RIGHTNESSONEOUS!        OUR ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISUAL.


AMEN.
