PLEASE pray for and support our men and women in uniform. I choose to remember their service and sacrifice as we approach Veteran's Day. Thank you, one and all. :-) *SALUTE*

"MY Choice" (For our Men and Women in Uniform)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was not chosen for me.
Do you think I'd choose to go to war?
It was my choice.
I live in a land worth fighting for.
~
This was not chosen for me.
Do you think I'd choose to leave my wife?
It was my choice.
I want her to have a better life.
~
This was not chosen for me.
Do you think I'd choose to leave my son?
It was my choice.
I don't want him to pick up a gun.
~
This was not chosen for me.
Do you think I'd choose to die this way?
It was my choice.
Because of MY life, YOU'RE free today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those of us with generations of battlefield tested vetrans in our families do much appreciate your fitting tribute, Karla. May our young men and women in Iraq be home soon.

Karla,
Keep writing these..we all need to be reminded to support our Troops! Without those brave and noble men and women in uniform, there's no telling where we'd be.
Thank You Karla!

Recalling that you wrote good words at this time last year, I thank you for your salute and honor to our men and women in uniform. Those in Iraq are of this generation - and tomorrow they will be veterans. I join you in hearlding the memory of the service of genuine heroes in our veteran corps. We shall reserve a special time to remember them on November 11th. - Bill

Whether we are "flower children" or a military family, we have the right to voice our opinions, because of the sacrifice of others. For this, we should be forever grateful! Enjoyed!

I salute you for this write, Karla. I thank God every day that there are those, who are brave beyond their fears, and choose to put themselves in harms way in the defense of freedom. Some things are worth fighting for, and for some, it will be the ultimate sacrifice. I am humbled by them and I remain forever grateful for all who have served our country. A wonderful write, Karla and thank you to all our Veteran's.
Take care,
Sherry
