Veterans Day

I know that I am week late for Veterans Day. However it has been on my mind. On Vetereans Day I went to Samantha's school. Each year the eighth grade social studies department puts on a program. It is wonderful. The band plays, so I got to see/hear Samantha play in the percussion section. Also veterans are invited to speak and students read excerpts of letters from Soldiers that have been in wars. Each war is noted. My favorite part of the program is when the band plays the hymns of the services. I love to hear them and being able to honor those who serve our country.

My Dad served in Veitnam. Both of my grandpas served in WWII. My brother-in-law Richard served in Iraq, and Andrew (another brother-in-law) served in Afghanistan. We have other family members who have also served in the services. Thanks to all of you who serve our country. I appreciate your service and efforts to keep our freedoms.
