To my dear husband & all his comrades in arms, at home & abroad.
To all the spouses of said soldiers who in turn also make quiet sacrifices of their own.
To all the children of said soldiers who count the days til' their soldier returns.
To all the families of said soldiers who with heavy hearts commend their soldier to a cause much greater then themselves.
For Country, For Love, For Peace...we thank you with Love!
Here's a meaningful prose from:Walt Whitman
A Nation's Strength
Not gold, but only man can make
A people great and strong;
Men who, for truth and honor's sake,
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly --
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
Remember to thank a Veteran!
Freedom is NOT free.
Beautiful tribute. Those of us who have sent someone off and waited in anguish for their return are well aware of the sacrifice they make so we may be free. Thanks for remembering today!
ReplyDeleteEveryday, we should honor our veterens.
