Today is Veteran’s Day! It is special to me as it should be for all Americans. I am proud of the men and women who choose to go into the military. They go because they love this country and want to do what they can to protect her and her citizens. They do this knowing they will be away from family and friends for long periods, and some of them pay the ultimate price for that service.

I honor both them and their families, and I pray for them every morning. I am proud of the many uncles, cousins, nephews, sons, and my brother and granddaughter, who chose to go into military service.

My prayers and love go out to all of you and your families and all the first responders. You are the best of the best that America has. You are willing to put your lives on the line for the rest of us, and I, for one, will be forever grateful. Happy Veteran’s Day and God bless you all! Please be safe, and keep the faith.
