This is a special day for many of us who have had parents, spouses, and/or children who have served or are serving in the military. It is especially poignant if we cannot communicate our admiration, appreciation, and pride in these relatives ~ whether they are distant from us because of death or separation.
Someone asked last week if I thought that my son's service in Iraq plays into his estrangement ~ he most definitely has PTSD and was receiving counseling until he was honorably discharged. He was one of the ones in charge of clearing the most dangerous road in the world at that time of IED's. He was also a field medic and boasted that he could keep anybody alive until help arrived as long as their head was still attached - he knew where to put his fingers to stop bleeding, etc. He shared with me once about picking up body parts --- can you imagine what that does to a tender heart? So my heart goes out to him today...
How many of you have veterans that you are remembering today? I share with you my favorite Veterans song ~~~~~ "Veterans of the USA" by the Goad family

My other favorite: "God Bless the U.S.A." by Lee Greenwood
And if you need a good cry: "Letters from War" by Mark Schultz
Please join with me in tears ~ of both pain and gratitude as we remember............
