Good evening SheLion, thank you for sharing your very sweet story.
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always.
Your husband was a true hero!
Our veterans, Troops, and their families are all our heroes.
Good Lord’s Day to you, Seven. Somehow Pakistan needs to get their act together.

Good Lord’s Day to you, Grammie.
Good evening, Tamar....a good thing to remember each night. Thanks. When does your rainy season start? It AWLAYS rains around Thanksgiving on the central coast. I’m leaving this week for my annual vacation.
Already started....*ugh*
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
And happy Veterans Day to you and thank you for your service to our country.
But, but...it rescues you from drought....important stuff. Yes?
Yep! LOL!
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
I would like to give a tribute to my husband who passed away July 8, 2007. I would like to give his name and pictures, but he was VQ-2, and was a crypto expert. Lot’s of black ops to keep this country safe, and nearly lost his life a number of times with no credit because of the nature of the missions.
One of our boys is an active duty Naval Officer, and made my husband so proud.
We will go to the Tennessee Veterans Cemetery on Monday to honor him and all of the others that have served.
We would have been married 49 years on the 21th of this month, and life without my hero is hardly bearable.
Thank you, Mr Coldwater Creek, for your service to our country...you will never be forgotten.
And thanks to you too, Lt David, for your service to our country.
And thanks to you, Cold, for your service as wife and Mother of 2 of our finest.
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 Vetern's Day, I want you to know this: Your country honors you, thanks you and misses you. And, I miss you, too. Semper Fi!
Good Lord’s Day, Cindy, and thanks for the links.
You’re very welcome Kathy.
It feels like snow soon.
