For some of us, it's not a holiday. It's not really something I enjoy celebrating.
And I don't really like talking about it.
I know I feel proud. And I'm grateful for all Veterans. I guess I just feel sad.
I thought I would post this so you would remember it is REAL...... Families suffer forever. Yes we move on. But we never recover.
And closure is extraordinarily difficult, if it happens at all.
People are killed serving our country, because they love the United States and believe in what
they are doing. They believe in their jobs and work very hard.
So thank all veterans. Don't be a lukewarm, apathetic citizen or voter.

| My dad's grave at Arlington. Life is short. Make your life right with God and your family. You never know when you just lived your last day. |
