Regardless of what branch of service, regardless of what time of service, regardless of speciality, regardless of position or tour of duty...
From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of me and my family and the liberty, security, safety, prosperity, and opportunity we enjoy in this blessed nation...
I want to thank every veteran serving today, yesterday and those who will serve in the furure. Your sacrifice, your service, your commitment and hard work has not gone unnoticed, unappreciated and has NEVER been in vain.
God bless you each and all of your loved ones...and God rest the souls of those who gave all.
Respectfully, thankfully,
You are very weclome my friend.
To paraphrase Zell Miller:
If you have free speech today, thank a Vet.
If you have the right to vote today, thank a Vet.
If you have the right to worship as you chose, thank a Vet.
Michael Moore never liberated anyone.
God bless you and your entire family for your service...a family of patriots and heroes. God's very best to you all...and, again, thank you so much!
Thank you veterans! I did not serve but I am in utmost gratitude to all who do and did. My children are reminded almost daily, in our nightly prays, of your contribution and sacrifice. We will not forget!
And to my 89 year old father in law, a retired colonel who served in WW2 and the beginnings of Vietnam. He was decorated with the Distinguished Service Cross, two Silver Stars, three Bronze Stars and the Legion of Merit honor among his 32 military awards and citations.
GOD BLESS!
Too all United States Veterans: Words cannot express my gratitude for your service, your sacrifice, your suffering and your patriotism. God bless you and your families, and God bless America!
Thank you again Jeff...I am extremely proud of my 2 sons for their service to our wonderful country.
And to my flyboy Dad - also having received his rest.....
Thank you, Jeff. I hold that belief in my heart.
It sure is hard losing a loved one. I never would have believed that it could cause physical pain, but I have never felt such devastation in my whole life.
They say time heals all wounds, and I am finding this to be true. But it's still a long and painful process.
Just another Joe. You are a true American, one of those that took the flak put out by M. Moore and the hollyweird crowd and voted your true beliefs. My hat is off to you sir, you are the reason this land is so grand.
May God bless all of our vets who served from the time of the French Indian War to the WOT.
Thanks to you for remembering our sacrifices, and thanks to all Vets for your service.
AMen...we shall never forget or take for granted that service!
With all of the others who have so served, God bless him!
Amen
My son in law is just into his A-Training with the Navy. He volunteered for submarine duty. My daughter and two grnadsons have been staying with us for the last three months waiting to rejoin him. They will do so next week.
We are extremely proud of them...and humbled by their willingness to serve.
Amen annie...may he continue to rest in peace and may all reunions over yonder, in that realm be sweet and eternal.
Havingt lost my dear father in January...and my closest brother in July...I empathize entirely. Having been married now for 27 years myself to a wonderful wife, companion and friend...I cannot imagine the heart ache. But I know God will help us through all things and pray that He will continue to bless and help you.
What a GREAT story Joe shared...would to God that such sentiments filled the land...and I believe they are growing my friend, and thank God for it.
