Today is Veterans Day, so it is only fitting that I thank ALL the men and women who have served in the military past and present. Veterans Day isn't really about honoring the men and women who have lost their lives in the military (that's Memorial Day). It is about honoring those who are living and those who continue to serve. Being in the military is a 24/7 job. It is a really hard task for so many reasons and on so many levels.I am very proud of the fact that five of the men in my family are Navy veterans: My grandpa, dad, husband, Uncle Steve, and Uncle Lester. I have included a few OLD pictures of Don when he was in the Navy.
No matter what your political position, I hope you will join me in being thankful for our service men and women and pray for peace.

Our family is very proud of the navy as well :-). But, I think the only armed force that we aren't a part of is the coast guard. Dad, Brother, Grandfather -Navy
Cousin - Marine
Cousin - National Guard (In Iraq right now
John's Dad - Army
Hubby - Air Force
Great Pics! Love that skinny leg sticking out of the car!
We are Army people over here! Love all the vets - no matter which branch!
