The pages in this site are intended to honor our veterans, and to make us think about how precious our freedom is. At what cost are we free? The most valuable gift we have ever been given has been given to us by those who were willing to fight and have their own lives changed forever, so that we and others in the world could have a better life. As long as a single one of those men or women are still being held against their will anywhere in the world, I will never forget and I will never stop fighting to bring them home. Our honor as a Nation depends on it.
Now, THIS is a Statement!
This really kind of says it all.
Who am I to talk?
My grandfather was an Army Engineer in WWI. My father was in the Navy in WWII. My husband was in the Marines in Vietnam. Then, there were countless friends. I am heavily involved with Service Organizations, and if none of that is enough........
I am a U.S. Citizen.
My Grandpa in 1816
Never Forget why you are.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed
and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks
that nothing is worth war is much
worse.
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing
which
is more important than his own personal
safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free
unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than
himself."
~John Stewart Mill~
