Thank you, veterans!
God Bless America / Irving Berlin
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

That is a beautiful picture! Thank you for the reminder – it is easy to pass over a day like today. Isn’t it great to know all the stores are celebrating with great sales to pull in Christmas shoppers, as their support for veterans?
My dad and both my grandfathers (and one of Jason’s grandfathers too) are veterans and I am thankful for the sacrifices they made to serve our country. Our grandfathers were in WWII and I know that was certainly not an easy time to be in the military.
