Past...Present...and Future.
And remember the families left behind, as another Holiday season arrives.

Heroes
By Jared Jenkins
In war, there are lives risked and lives taken
Men and women giving their best to defend what they love
They defend their country
Their honor
Their people
Some call them soldiers
Others call them heroes
Our veterans have risked their lives for us
They have lived through hell and fought with honor
Many have killed
And regret doing so
For every life, there is a soul
For every soul, there is a life
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some, memories of defeat
Some, memories of victory
Our veterans were more than soldiers
They were, and still are heroes

My sentiments exactly. I usually have an entry for 11th Nov but unfortunately the present took over. didn't mean that I didn't stop and remember.
Thank you so much. My husband is a Vietnam Vet. That photo blew us both away. Thank you for remembering. If your hubby is a VV, tell him "welcome home."
