Memorial Day 2007
We as a nation can’t thank our veterans enough, yet often they seem to be lost in the shuffle of government bureaucracy. The sacrifices made, by our brave men and women of the armed forces, by far surpass the amount of gratitude we have shown them as a nation. When I think of the young (18-22) year olds that have given there all for this country it makes me very sad to think that they ,and their familes, are not given the honor due them. All who have answered the call to duty deserve the respect and support of those people (us) that they have protected and defended.
Oh for the day when the lion will lay down with the lamb, and the Prince of Peace will rule and reign in mens hearts.
My wife and I thank all you vetreans who have served this nation with honor and dignity in the past and present conflicts. Thank you Randy, Darryl, Louie, David, Tom, Larry, Bobbie, Jim, Patrick, Joe, John, Jimmy, Jamie, Norm, Mel, Doug, Bill, Haskell, Brad, Ted, Chuck, Jayme, Mike, Frank, Gary, Lenny, Bob, Richard (Dick,) Herb, Ed, Ken, Melvan, Rodney, and Ray. May Gods blessing be on you, and all the other men and women that have honored the flag of this country.
