Veteran's Day

I am so grateful for Veteran's Day. I am grateful for the opportunity it gives us to honor those brave men and woman who have served our country. Many of them paying the ultimate sacrifice; their lives! We all get caught up in our lives and seldom take time to think about these people. I wish we had more than one day a year to honor them. This country is as great as it is because of them! Military service is something I really respect and is talked a lot about in our home. I am thankful for the freedoms in which we enjoy and for those who have fought to defend them. I am thankful for those within my family who have served. Thank you to my father-in-law Norm, both of Scott's Grandpa's, both of my Grandpa's and my beloved brother. I love them all and will always honor them.


And as one of my favorite quotes, that I quote very often, goes: "God Bless Our Country and ALL WHO DEFEND HER!".
