Thanks about my page, I’m glad you took a minute to look at it. I really appreciate your gratitude and your support. It was really icky looking it up.
God bless you, your daughter, and your daughter’s husband.
Please convey this to her for me:
I stood in the breach, ready.
The fires around me a forge.
My friends the quenching water,
That strengthens my steel.
I hold my head high, weeping.
Tears of grief and of joy.
Lost, save for my families,
My relatives, and my fellow soldiers, the same.
The flag is my symbol and my shield.
My uniform a symbol of my servitude,
And a symbol of my exceptionalism,
My love of God, and of Country, and of my fellow soldier.
Happy Veteran’s Day.
(One vet to another, a few days late, with heartfelt thanks)
