Yesterday I went to the school for the Veterans' Day ceremony. Wow. The students did a very good job on their program and paying attention to the speaker--a WWII veteran. I am thankful they are teaching my children to honor those who defend our freedom. Then as each branch of the military song played, the veterans would stand and salute the flag. Watching the older gentlemen slowly stand and raise a shaking hand to salute put a lump in my throat. And these were ones who survived...Thank you just doesn't seem like enough for them and families who have sacrificed so much. All the news coverage of ceremonies accross the nation gave me a little hope that there is some good in our country today.
Thank you veterans and active military. May God bless you and keep you.
