Veterans Day 2011

Bob Gilles 1st Cav LRRP 680682Today is the day that we Honor our Veterans — Those men & women who have chosen to defend our country; many who have sacrificed their lives.  To all who have served … THANK YOU!

“When you stand to pledge allegiance, when you hit your knees to pray, for our past and for the future, thank a Veteran today.
With a feeling deep inside you, with the flag that you display, with respect and admiration, thank a Veteran today. We all know that Freedom’s precious, but there is a price to pay, for the ones who pick the tab up, thank a Veteran today.  When calamity approaches they are there to bar the way, for the safety that surrounds you, thank a Veteran today.  For the peace within our borders, for a place the kids can play, for the things we take for granted, thank a Veteran today.  For the families behind them, for the soldiers far away, find a way to make a difference, thank a
Veteran today.  If you hear someone insult them, don’t ignore the things they say, let them know that you’ve got their back, thank a Veteran today.
From the mountains of New Hampshire, to the sands of Santa Fe, let them know how much we love them, thank a Veteran today.”  … Tarzana Joe
