Veteran’s Day - A Time to Remember

Today is Veteran’s Day.  Remember the men and woman around the country and around the world, who stand for freedom.  They volunteered to fight for our country. Some of them fought in wars from the past and some of them are currently deployed throughout the world.  They stand for all that is right trying to protect freedom that we sometimes take for granted.  In honor of them today, let’s remember them and say a small prayer for them.  May they continue to stand firm in their commitment to protect our rights.  May God Bless them and watch over them.  May all veterans of all wars and military branches know that they are not forgotten. 

To all of our military, we salute you:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again.  Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause.  Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.  So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
     — Theodore Roosevelt, The Man in the Arena
