2009 Thankful List, Post 3

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 | Thankfulness

I’m running a little behind today, but I’m here. Three days in a row for my blog revitalization!! Sweet!

Today, I am thankful for veterans. I am grateful to those men and women who in the past and present have served our nation to defend and protect our lives and freedoms. I am thankful that they were courageous enough to join military and/or civilian service. I am thankful for their families who also sacrifice. In our family we have had several who have served in active wartime duty – my dad went to Viet Nam, my Granddaddy served in WWII in the Philippines, Mickey’s Grandpa also served in WWII. There are more, I’m sure. Mickey’s sister Heather and her husband Mike are actively enlisted and serving in the United States Air Force. We have several friends and some family members who have done tours of duty in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. To all of those and countless others, THANK YOU and GOD BLESS!!
