Nov. 11th

Never forgotten and always remembered are those who serve their country now and those who served in the past and mostly those who cannot be with us now. May God watch over your family, friends and you?

not the words of our enemies,
but the silence of our friends."

Some of the most patriotic loyal Americans are those families that have given so much while their loved ones are away. They seem to be forgotten at times both by our government and our neighbors. Many family members of servicemen don’t receive benefits from our government while their husband, father, or sons ( and now wives mothers and sisters ) who are off doing their duty. A good number of them are National Guard and Reservists who have given up their primary income family jobs to serve overseas at this time of need. To those families we owe a great deal of thanks.

I agree..thanks to all who serve now and the families that deal with it...

I remember being a young boy when my dad was in Vietnam and my mom had to play both roles...a big hearty thanks to her too for keeping a sense of normalcy in a 5 year old boy's life...
