Not JUST a Day for Numbers




Veteran's Day...November 11, 2011.
11/11/11. 
It's a day which some will think of first as a day of six ones.  But for those of us who love a veteran, who REMEMBER a veteran, or who love someone in active military service  it is a day we set aside for respect. And for honoring all those who came before us and fought for this land we call America.

My good friend Bruce wrote me an email  last night that included this, amongst other things:

TWO HOLIDAYS:

THANKSGIVING IS A DAY WHEN WE PAUSE TO GIVE THANKS

FOR THE THINGS WE HAVE

VETERANS DAY IS A DAY WHEN WE PAUSE TO GIVE THANKS

TO THE PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT FOR THE THINGS WE HAVE

 Dear Lord we thank you for those who fought, for those who died to keep us free, and for those who LIVE to keep our land free.


Amen
