Hope we all take a moment to remember what this holiday is about.

Take time to give thanks to those who have given all for the defense of this country.

We are where we are today because of their sacrifice.

You know, I was not in the Army in time of conflict, 55 - 57, but we had losses. I remember vividly a fellow GI caught under the windshield of a truck that overturned coming home from maneuvers on a rainy cobblestone road.

They all deserve our Prayers, Thoughts, and Thanks.

Let us not forget!

Good Luck!

Bill Long

That's what this holiday is all about, not the current GI's serving, or the veterans, but the ones that gave their all for an ideal. An ideal we still cherish and so does our President, Mr. Donald Trump.

Say a prayer for those who are not with us to celebrate this great holiday. They deserve it, they earned it. God Bless

You are absolutely correct Bill, we all enjoy so many freedoms due to all who have served. Especially those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. Remember all their families this day especially.
