EVERY day should be Veteran's Day. Not just on certain days or when convenient ... THANK YOU to all who serve(d) and sacrifice(d).

'Thank you' is not enough to
repay service and sacrifice,
but it's all I have.
Because of you, I am free.
Free to live, love, choose my
destiny.
Free to be anything. Do
anything.
They say nothing in life is free.
That freedom comes at a
terrible price, one paid not
only by the warrior, but by
their family, as well.
(All gave some.
Some gave all.)
Yes.
REMEMBER THE COST.
If honoring you is all I have to
do ...
If remembering is all I have to
do ...
You paid that price. You had
my back. Now, I've got yours.
NEVER FORGOTTEN.
THANK YOU, VETERANS.

| Karla, our freedom is a gift at the expense of every life, battle scar and ounce of selfless sacrifice our veterans have given throughout our nation's long history -- I salute them each and every one -- my salute to you as one of them -- I bid joy, love and peace my dear friend -- Jon Michael |
