Thank You!

Tuesday, November 11th is Veteran's Day. If you know one, live with one, or work with one, say thanks. Give em' a hug and say thanks. Never have so few (many long gone since Taps played at their funeral) risked so much and protected so many. If you think about the relative small number of veterans in terms of the total U.S. population throughout these couple hundred years you really begin to appreciate exactly what they've done for us and our country.

Within our family alone I want to thank these sailors who served and those among them who continue to serve: Dad Mills; Michelle;Dave;Lisa;Kevin; Tina and Tony. And my nephew at VMI who, like his father will soon wear the uniform. Agents of liberty all!

Our veterans deserve our gratitude, prayers and support. As a new generation of young men and women return home from Iraq and Afghanistan it's incredibly important that they know we are grateful and we care. Our veterans should have the best medical care in the world. Their pensions, education support and benefits should be the best. Our support for their return to the workforce and readjusting to civilian life should be unwavering. Their sacrifice insured our rights and privileges as citizens of the greatest country in the world. Thank you vets who wore the uniform in times of peace, conflict and war. Your willingness to serve has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated!

Go to Soldier Wall to see pictures of real life heroes and to even add some of your own. The project is a labor of love and a work in progress.
