It's Veteran's Day!
It's pretty easy to just slip on past this day if you've no direct involvement with a veteran, isn't it? I know there have been years when I took very little note of it. Shame on me!
I think of myself as a peaceful person. I think war is a symptom of our broken world. I hate it. I hate that we even need our military.
However, I am very grateful to our military, past and present. I know there is evil in this world. I know many citizens of this Earth do not enjoy the freedoms that I so easily take for granted and I know that I owe a lot of that to our strong military.
So to all those who are currently protecting us and those who have protected us in the past, I say a simple but heartfelt thank-you.
Thank-you for stopping by. Feel free to use my photos but please link them back to my blog. I am honored if you wish to share content of any of my posts on Facebook, Twitter, etc. as long as it is linked back to my blog.
