So glad he had a good day. :) So thankful for all our veterans. <br /><br />Jess,<br />The sacrifice they make is so great! I appreciate it so very much. I chose this picture because my Dad was in the Air Force. Although I am not sure if they are Air Force aircraft or not, but it looked good anyway! :) <br /><br />Happy writing,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-71381292584802805602013-11-11T22:33:15.555-05:002013-11-11T22:33:15.555-05:00I can't thank those that have served (or are s...I can't thank those that have served (or are serving) our country enough. Without them we would not have the freedoms that we enjoy each day. I try to thank veterans whenever I see them (and can tell that they are veterans). My grandfather was in the military.

I am so grateful to all those who served our country and put their lives on the line. This is a very good way to honor our vets.

He was wounded during World War II and received the Purple Heart medal. All my uncles were in the military, too, serving in different branches. So today is special to me.

Another grandfather didn't serve (due to a health issue) but was involved in homeland efforts during WW 2. Much to be thankful for, you are right!<br /><br />Hilary,<br />It is humbling to think of those who've served on our behalf, isn't it? I am ever grateful for their service and sacrifice.
