Elnora, I'm so glad you posted this today! I'd like to say thank you to our veterans! Especially my dad and my father-in-law.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!!
This is a topic near and dear to my heart. My dad was in the Army National Guard towards the end of the Vietnam War. He did not get sent into combat but because of the way some vets were treated when returning home during that time, he instilled in my sister and I a huge thankfulness and gratitude for those who serve. He taught us that the troops should always be supported and thanked for their sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteA very good friend of mine's son was a Navy SEAL and later joined the CIA. He was KIA in Afghanistan in 2003. The sacrifice that men like him (and their families) make is incredible and I am so grateful for their sacrifice.
Thank you for posting this today!
Both my parents are Army veterans, Korean War. Mom a 2nd Lieutenant and Dad a private. Love is grand. My my sweet husband is also Army--Vietnam. I am so proud of all 3.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. At hospital with my sister in law. She had a heart attack after her surgery. Prayers needed. She is stable for now. Happy Veterans Day!!! Will check back later.
ReplyDeletePrayers going up for you and SIL. And safe travels!!
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago I took my daughter to the airport in Tulsa. Right away we noticed a large biker group with huge flags on their bikes. They came into the airport wearing "veteran" vests and made a long double line. Soon, a young wounded warrior came off a plane. With 'thank yous' and applause and great respect, they escorted this young soldier to a limo and gave him a motorcycle escort, flags flying, all the way to his home. I later caught the last of the bikers before he joined the brigade and told him I thought they were doing an awesome thing. His reply, "It's a honor. A true honor."
ReplyDeleteYep. Couldn't agree more.
What a lovely story Linda. That is a nice gesture. Thanks for the prayers. My sil is somewhat better today.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Elnora. Our veterans deserve constant thanks for putting their lives on the line for us. I am in awe of their service.
ReplyDeleteLinda, your story touched me deeply. I'm so glad you shared it with us.
Lenora, we'll keep the prayers coming for your sister-in-law.
Linda, thanks for sharing that story, what a wonderful thing that group did for the wounded vet!
ReplyDeleteLenora--prayers for your sister-in-law!
