But I did a post for Halloween for Peter's sake! Of course I'm going to do one for Veterans Day! In the future, come to expect this from little ole me! I love to give shout-outs! And I love basically ANY holiday at all! LOL You'll be seeing posts for Thanksgiving, Christmas, probably even GroundHog's Day!
To know me is to love me ;-)
So it's Veterans Day today. And this a very important holiday around here. Let me see if I can remember the people I know who have served:
- My Dad
- My Older Brother, J
- My Younger Brother, M
- My FIL, R
- My BIL, D (who is, as I type this, in Afghanistan fighting)
- A Dear Friend that Passed Away Last Year, L
I'm so very proud of all our Service Men & Women - doing what other won't or can't so that this country can be free. Protecting our freedom of Religion, of Speech. The freedom to walk down the street. To leave the house alone. To wear what I want when I leave the house, my face and hair uncovered, if that's my desire. The very freedom that allows me to write this Blog! Typing away any thought I want, hitting Publish and sending it out there so that you can read it. Yep, there are places in this world nothing like that can happen! There is no comfort or security - where the word security has a whole other meaning entirely.
So I thank you all who serve this wonderful country I live in - Thank you for being so brave, even though maybe you didn't feel brave at the time, even though you may have been scared, or alone or confused as to what you were there for. You were there for a country full of people, walking around with our heads held high. . . Walking around Free.
Happy Veterans Day!!!
