VETERANS' DAY 2008
Three years ago today one of my uncles--a veteran of WW2, a Marine--was promoted to glory. Two days ago another of my uncles--also a WW2 veteran, Navy--entered into that rest. While I remember them, I also appreciate those who serve on this day, in any branch of service. God bless you with His strength. Seek His wisdom and He will grant it.
And then I cannot help but remember other relatives and in-laws who are worthy vets, living and deceased, who served well:
my father-in-law (in glory last year), WW2, Army
Uncle Howie, WW2, Navy
Uncle Vern, WW2, Army
my husband's Uncle Leo, WW2, Navy
my husband's Uncle Dale, Korea, Army
my husband himself, Vietnam (stateside), Army
....and other friends and relatives, too numerous to include.
Gratitude for each on this special day.
