Veteran's Day. Remembrance Day. Armistice Day. How many of you know why we really celebrate it? I learned a little bit about it and how it came about. It came about on November 11 1918 when World War I formally ended. It ended at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month with the Germans signing the Armistice. I'm thankful the men and women of ours and other nations military are willing to put their lives on the line, no matter what, to protect our rights, our freedoms, and our privileges and obligations as Americans. So many young people don't give a flyin' whoop about their elders, there is so much one can learn just by talking with someone who lived years ago. We've had several in our family line serve in the military and we're proud of them. Those who have served during World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and the most recent of wars that have been, Afghanistan and Iraq, I'm glad to say all our family have come home safely and there are some that are able to, would serve again.
I hope all have remembered those who fought for the U.S.A. and for our rights, freedoms, and privileges. Remember them and pray for those still fighting for us.
