Remembering Our Veterans
Today is Veteran’s Day, the day set aside each year to stop and thank those who have served and are currenty serving our country.
My dad had three older brothers who served our country during World War II. Although many families lost loved ones during that time, my uncles all returned home and lived out their lives here. One brother had even experienced the horror of Normandy…
Mark’s dad was a veteran of the Korean War.
Today, many of my friends have husbands and children involved in the Iraqi War.
I just want to thank those who have served, and those who currently are serving, for their brave conviction to stand for our country. Although those of us who have never served cannot understand, I do believe that God places the calling upon the hearts of many, who are, indeed, willing to lay down their life for the defense of others. God bless those brave souls and may they find favor, not only with God, but with their fellow humans….

Kae, I will pass your thanks on to Rob and Russell. Robbie just let us know that he has moved from a maintenance company to a flight company. This means he will be a crew chief, and aerial gunner. He has been given his flight gear, and his “bird” and will be taking to the skies soon. Please keep him in your prayers.
Cindy, both Robbie and Russell are in our prayers! (as well as their families!) I know this will be a very trying time for you….
