Always Thankful
I am always thankful for our wonderful military in this country. I try to make use of every opportunity I have to say thank you rather than waiting until a "properly designated" day. That said, I have no words to properly articulate the meaning of this day. It is all I can do to say thank you to the men and women in uniform serving our country. So, i will leave it to others who can say it better than I:
"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." ~G.K. Chesterton
"All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood." ~George Patton
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." ~George Orwell
"There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war; it's to be prepared for peace." ~Ronald Reagan
"The battle is now joined on many fronts. We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter; and we will not fail." ~George W. Bush
Now, go read what Ms. Joan and Ms. Beth have to say.
