Honoring All Who Served

November 11, 2007 a day to stop and donate some thought at the very least to the men and women who have served our country throughout time.

For war-veterans today is a day that we look each other in the eye and with out words we communicate a life time of higher understanding. We communicate a higher understanding of life, freedom, brotherhood, family and more. Without words we thank the other for running face first into danger by our side.

For all others it is a time to find a quiet moment to say a prayer for all who have served and their families. The commitment goes way beyond "the tour", it is a lifetime commitment for which we veterans deal with on a daily basis.

Please find a veteran today, stop them and shake their hand. Thank them for their service to our country. Thank them for the commitment they made, thank them for the burden they carry with them every day.

To get more involved please take time to visit the Department of Veterans Affairs web site. The site contains links and other great learning resources pertaining to honoring those who have served.

May we never forget!
