I just wanted to say that many prayers should go to our veterans and the families of the lost. I think that many take advantage of the freedoms that we all have due to their service. It really comes to thought with all of the recent VA neglects.

Amen to that. My Marine son has been in Afghanistan for a year now and not scheduled to return until thanksgiving.

Take a moment to reflect on our FREEDOM:

My gut never settles when I see how we treat our Vets. I can’t imagine the very country they fought and died for turning a cold heart to these men and women of all ages. The current VA scandal is just one line in a greater story that rolls back through too many years.
I grew up with the poster of uncle sam promoting enlistment. When the sons and daughters of this great country saw that poster and heard that call they lined up, signed up and stood up for the job our country put before them, many of them fell, never to stand again. They never knew there was a back side to uncle sam. Today more than ever it bothers me deeply that not only does uncle sam have a back side but he has fundamentally ,in my opinion, pinned a mistletoe to his coat tails .
I am not a vet..........but I live every day knowing that I get to be FREE here in this great and wonderful country because A VETERAN WAS THERE!
THANK YOU.
