I too thank all those who give so much for all of us to live in the security we have in this country. I pray for you, your safety, your family and return to home being appreciated for all you have sacrificed. God bless ALL OUR VETERANS!
My husband was a Marine. My Dad and brother were Army. Very proud of our veterans.

We call it Remembrance Day in Canada & it is a national Holiday.
90 years ago today the guns went silent of the first World war!
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918),Canadian Army
IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
The Veteran's Day parade was held at 11 am today as usual. Rain had been predicted but thank God it didn't happen. Once again I was blessed to see my dad marching with the WWII vets. We owe so much to the men and women who spent much of their youth in foreign lands fighting for what we in America often take for granted.
I also want to give my heartfelt thanks to all Veterans! I had/have many in my own family from past and present war. America should never take for granted such great sacrifices these brave men and women have made. God bless America!
