BLESS OUR VETERANS! Happy Veterans' Day!

After volunteering at the 

VA CLINIC

for about a year now

I have a whole new appreciation

for our servicemen and servicewomen.

I love the older veterans.

They are so proud and even though they

may be feeble physically

their pride burns strong and hard.

There are some hard moments

as you watch them struggle to walk

to their appointments;

they are often too proud to

ride in a wheelchair.

AND there are some tender moments-

a son holding his dad's arm

on his way to treatment-

a daughter doing the mechanics

for her mother who is unable

to check in on her own-

all part of their every day life.

If this picture of an elderly vet 
hugging a young vet that has lost his arm
doesn't put a lump in your throat

or a tear in your eye

you might not "get it".

I will never ever take our freedom for granted

and I hope you don't either.

Today, my GREEN LIGHT burns proudly.

It is the little bit I can do to say

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING

OUR COUNTRY.

THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING 

OUR FREEDOM.

BUT- MOT OF ALL

THANK YOU  FOR PROTECTING

MY FAMILY.

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY AND 

EVERY DAY!

Show your support and if you see 

a veteran today,

shake his or her hand and say

Thank You!

You'll be glad you did!

And go get yourself a green light

and let it signal to the world

that you appreciate our veterans!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
