Oh dear, M...are your days and nights on the fritz again? ;)

I'm headed to find a pillow so I'll say goodnight/morning and hope you do the same! *hugs*

Thanks to all who have served, all who are serving and all who will serve in the future. Thanks to their families. Thanks to their friends.

God bless You, and God bless America.

You are ALL our heroes!

I Wrote the following tribute to my late husband, seven years ago,
And wanted to share it with you, again, as I have on previous Veteran's Days

This Veterans Day, I still feel your presence.

I remember the stories you
told me of that day from hell.
I felt like I was beside you, as the
bullets shot by.
I could hear them, even feel the air they left behind.
When you were hit,

I wish I could have been there
to help you until the medics arrived.
I am so glad your unit was there for you,
to reduce the blood loss.
I know it hurt.
But, I know you wouldn't have ever let anyone know.
After all, you were a proud man.

I would have been at that hospital every day,
if I had known you, then.
I would have brought you everything you loved.
I would have sat by your bed
and told you stories to make you smile.

Thankfully, your wounds healed,
and your service to our country continued
for twenty more years.

The two Purple Hearts and the Navy Cross you received
have been framed, and are displayed respectfully.

You honored your family, your friends, your loved ones.
But most of all,
you honored your Country.
You believed in the Constitution.
You could recite the Bill of Rights.
You wept every time you heard the Star Spangled Banner.

You were a proud Marine,
and, as I hold this folded flag,
close to my heart this Veterans Day,
I want you to know this: Your country honors you,
thanks you and misses you.
And, I miss you, too.

Semper Fi!
