VETERANS DAY !!

Veterans Day is a day to reflect and remember those men, women, children, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters and friends who serve the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !! They serve and sacrifice so that we, the people, have the freedoms that we have. Here is a paratroopers prayer I found:

FORGET-ME-NOT

A poem by Peter S. Griffin

Death found us, on the battlefields of freedom,
Duty, Honor, Country, the noblest of reasons....
Fallen Screaming Eagles, we paid the toll,
Our sacrifices, etched, forever, on our souls....

Engaging battle, from the sky,
Looking death, straight in the eye....
We feared no enemy, on this earth,
On righteousness, Fallen Screaming Eagles perch....

Now we lay silent, in fields of green,
Our children, in FREEDOM, frolic in our dreams....
Eternal peace, granted, by a loving God,
Our highest decoration, the FORGET-ME-NOT, to cover our sod....



Hug a Veteran. Take the time to THANK him/her for everything that they have done so that you and I can have the life that we live. The FREEDOMS we have would not be possible without the life of a Veteran.

THANK YOU !!!
