With gratitude, respect, and prayers for those serving, have served, and especially those that never made it home. Young men sleeping in far off lands, away from family and loved ones, many whose grave sites were never visited. Alone for eternity, surrounded by fellow soldiers of the same fate. Mothers and fathers and spouses never got to touch the stone bearing their name, the memorial of their sacrifice, kneel on the hallowed ground to pray they did not suffer, and honor their short life.
To all veterans, here and abroad, for your service and sacrifice, thank you.

Hope we never forget that freedom is not free.
Some paid dearly.
Well said from you.
God bless them all. Your words were so thoughtfully chosen and touching. I would like to borrow them, if I may, with credit given to Samplers and Santas.

Thanks so much Marly. Our son has retired after 23 years in the Army. He was a black hawk pilot and did two tours in Iraq. He lost several friends. I ask God to bless them all!
