Veterans Day – Nov. 11, 2015 – is a day set aside to honor those who
have served their country. It traces its roots back to World War I when
it was known as Armistice Day.
Only here today and we would like to thank all the veterans - men ad women - who served our country past and present. Many men in our family have fought for our freedom. Within our immediate family, Pop was in Vietnam and Grandpop in World War II. We salute all vets today!
"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." —Elmer Davis

"Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his
country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother
in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause."
- Abraham Lincoln

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any
war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they
perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by
their nation." – George Washington
