It's Veterans Day - 11/11/11

Painting by John Singer Sargent.

Pause a moment and give thanks to those war veterans who have fought and sacrified so much, now and in the past, in the name of the United States of America. God bless them.

Flag painting by Childe Hassam.

    ....and elsewhere, wherever the last resort has led to conflict.

    The ultimate sacrifice, made on our behalf, demands nothing less than our utmost respect.

    We must remember and we must be grateful. All we have is owed to the sacrifice of others.

    Sue: Yes, I agree. The freedom we now enjoy was hard fought and hard won.
