From the first days of Revolution...
To the Civil War....
To the Civil War....
To the trenches of World War I... with our allies...
To the landing beaches of Normandy....
Where years later, Americans still lie on the hilltops...
To the hedgerows and streets of Europe...
...and the skies over Europe...
...to the top of Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima... 
...to the wide expanse of the seas...
...and beneath the seas... 
Men...and women.
To the hedgerows and streets of Europe...
...and the skies over Europe......to the top of Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima... ...to the wide expanse of the seas......and beneath the seas... Men...and women. In the frigid wastes of Korea...
...and the steamy jungles of Vietnam...
...To the scorching deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan...
...and the steamy jungles of Vietnam...
...To the scorching deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan... ...Where the common soldier tries to sow peace in a land torn apart...
All these men and women have a common call to our overly-comfortable lives...
All these men and women have a common call to our overly-comfortable lives...
"Please do not forget us....."

I have enjoyed your blog and wanted to share a Veteran's Day email sent to me-"Definition of a Veteran" A Veteran whether active duty, retired, National Guard, or reserve, is someone who at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life"."That is an honor, and there are too many people in this country who don't understand it".

Thanks for keeping these memories alive.
