Courage is fear holding on a minute longer. -George S. Patton
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. -Unknown
Freedom is never free. -Author Unknown
In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. -Mark Twain
Where there are too many policemen, there is no liberty. Where there are too many soldiers, there is no peace. Where there are too many lawyers, there is no justice.” -Lyn Yutang
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. -Elmer Davis
To every veteran near and far, I'd like to take the time to say THANK YOU! I encourage all of you to thank a Veteran today for the freedom you enjoy. They sacrifice their time and risk their lives through the bold decision they make to become a serviceman or servicewoman. I'd also like to thank the families and others who support our veterans because you all deserve recognition as well.
Do something today that embodies the theme of Veteran's Day: "Honoring all who served."
Before you carry on with your day, take a moment of silence for all of those veterans who lost their lives serving our great nation! Before you say anything, YES I understand that is what Memorial Day is for.
Check out Obama honoring Veterans during his visit to South Korea.
Sidenote: I recently sent a care package to a very special soldier overseas. It was easy and more simple than I imagined. If you have a few moments a month, I encourage you to adopt a soldier and send him/her their favorite knick-knacks and you can do so for under $20!!! For many of them, it is not about what is inside the package as much as it is about the care and thought that went in to sending it.
Love!!
