A Veterans Day Remembrance

As we observe Veterans Day today, I offer these reflections:

Presidential Proclamation – Veterans Day, 2013

To Bend Light: Veterans Day Prayers (10 NOV 11)

YouTube:  Patriotic Tribute~Thank You

YouTube: Never Forget

Wreaths Across America: Every Day Is Veterans Day (31 OCT 12)

The DeerLake Weekly Letter: Letters addressed to (Any Soldier). (9 NOV 12)

Christopher Closeup: Airborne Ranger Infantry (10 NOV 12)

A big thank you and a salute to all those who have and are serving in the U.S. Armed Forces!!!

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words,but to live by them.” – John Fitzgerald Kennedy
