VETERANS DAY--"A TIME TO REMEMBER"

As my flag proudly waves in the wind this morning, my "heart" salutes the brave men and women who have proudly defended and protected this great land. I love America, a compassionate land founded as a Christian Nation. I love America for it's great diversity, for the opportunities to do and become whatever we choose, for the wonderful people who enrich my life and most of all for the freedom she offers. "The land of the free and the home of the brave---MY AMERICA"!!

Where would we be today without our brave Veterans? I wish my dad were still here so that today I could put my arms around his neck and tell him one more time just how much he means to me (still). He served in the Marine Corps for over 20 years and fought to make life better for me and for all of us. So, "Thanks Dad for your love, not only for me. but for your country as well."

In honor of all the Veterans who gave their lives and to all those in service who still fight today for our freedoms, I salute you with a grateful heart. If you are out today and see a Veteran go over and shake their hand and thank them for their service; even better buy their lunch if you happen to see them while on your lunch break. I'm mailing gift cards! What will you do today to honor your special veteran? "America the Beautiful"---let's all do our part to keep it that way.

I love you guys,
Judy
