Much has been said and sung about our heroes fighting for us but on this special day I give tribute to my hubby, my father, my son, my brother-in-law and sisters-in-law for the service they have rendered to my country. God bless this country and he does bless this family. Thank all of you who have a loved one serving or has served in our great military. Give them a hug from this ol' lady. Freedom isn't free; they fight for our freedom!
I don't usually include video or music since it will usually mess up the blog but in this world today I felt this was somewhat important to recognize "my heroes" outside of Christ.

What a wonderful post! How I wish my husband and other servicemen had been treated better when they were sent to war! I even wish my husband had lived to see how much better our servicemen are treated this time around! Mine was spit on when he arrived in San Francisco..and our family was treated terrible by neighbors...it was a nightmare that still haunts me!
ReplyDeleteThank GOD our attitude has changed toward our fighting men!
Had just ONE person called them "hero's" back then...my heart would have burst with gratitude...as it was...
Thank you for this lovely post!!!

P.S. I will understand if you don't print my comment! It was a long time ago and most have forgotten Viet Nam..and people don't like to be reminded of bad times.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Oh, Connie, this was just wonderful! How sad that we can't stop for 2 minutes...people are too busy to think about what is important.
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful to men like your husband...so many courageous men and women still believe in our country enough to sacrifice their time and sometimes their lives...that is true courage for a cause they believe in...freedom!
Thanks for posting this greate video...it's powerful!
God bless,
Mary

Hi, Connie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about this giveaway. I am going over to visit in just a few minutes. Yes, thank you to your family and all of our wonderful veterans. I am the proud mom of two veterans. Did you go and get your free meal at Applebees? Love, Vicki
Awww Connie... you make me blush. Thank you sweetie for sharing the news of my Giveaway and good luck to you too.
ReplyDeleteI was at my local shopping centre yesterday (in Australia)when they announced at 11 am that we would be observing a minutes silence in remembrance. I couldn't believe it when people continued to walk around and talk. I was disgusted!!! I stood still with my head bowed in the middle of the walkway and I didn't care if this was inconvenient to those who didn't choose to respect our heroes. Thank you for your great post.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
