THANKS



With it being Veteran's Day today, I just wanted to say thank you to all of the servicemen and servicewomen who have sacrificed so much for us to have the freedom we so often take for granted.  It is such a blessing to live here in the US with opportunities and freedoms a lot of people around the world will never have and that wouldn't have been possible without the willingness of so many men and women to serve and fight for our country over the past 200+ years.  I am thankful that both of my grandfathers, my uncle, my cousin, and many family friends, who fought in various wars (WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Iraq), all made it back from their tours safely by the grace of God.  And, my heart aches for those families who have lost loved ones and for the soldiers who suffered injuries during their active duty.  I will continue to pray for God's blessing and protection over our country and our soldiers who have given us so much.  Happy Veteran's Day!
