Honoring Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Douglas M. Vose III who selflessly sacrificed his life six years ago today in Afghanistan for our great Country. Please help me honor him so that he is not forgotten.

Re: Post # 1
These posts continue to amaze me! Revives my pride in America!

[Grateful2God]

I may not like the arthritis, or the trouble breathing sometimes, or the brain freezes- lol- but I am grateful for the wisdom we acquire with age. It’s a true blessing!

[Grateful2God]

" WE must never forget any of them! "

Never. Not ever. What they give to us as Americans, and to the world is beyond what a civilian like me can fathom. All the more reason for love, gratitude, and appreciation for our Military throughout the years. G-d speed! 💜

Good night, all!
G-d ♡ bless you!
