Veteran’s Day
I know that Veteran’s Day was technically yesterday, but since the public offices are recognizing it today, I figure I’m ok getting this post up a day late. I have mentioned before my affection for our military men and women. It started with movies depicting the bravery and sacrifices of our soldiers in the wars of history (Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers are my two favorites). And it continues with the knowledge that we still have men and women living, and dying, in these extreme situations. Pictured here is James, a soldier in the 173rd Airborne Brigade currently serving in Afghanistan. James is my adopted soldier via Adopt a Platoon. Please keep him and all our veterans in your prayers today.
