In a few days, we’ll honor our military on Veterans’s Day -
the 11th Month, the 11th Day at the 11th Hour…
The sacrifices that they and their families have and continue to make to defend the freedoms and foundation of the United States of America.
I am fortunate to have a fantastic group of friends and they are always giving me ideas or sending me great insights and items. This is a special one from Larry who served in the US Marine Corps and I’d like to share it with you. And please share it with your family and friends as a rememberance of what you have to be thankful.
And
Thank you for your service Larrry!

As many of you who read my posts know, I’ve realized very well the importance of the US military to the United States. Many people take our freedom for granted and don’t realize the role that over time they have played to allow the citizens of the US to enjoy things that the rest of the world is very envious.. Envious enough that they violate our borders either by land or by air to come here ILLEGALLY! (send them home!)
You may not agree with the “wars” we are waging, I don’t either, but I support our men and women in uniform for what they are doing.
Any way, on this eve of Thanksgiving. as we go into the holiday season, I’d ask you to check out the website http://www.anysoldier.com/ to find a request that you can make someone a bit more comfortable away from home. Over the past several months, I’ve sent several packages of books, cards, writing items, music CDs or whatever else they’ve asked for.
Open up your heart and SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Since 2000, when I was first called upon to photograph my first military funeral – final honors, I’ve been very fortunate and blessed to see and learn more about the US military than most of the average civilians. From that exposure, I’ve gained a better appreciation for just how valuable and the many significant contributions that the US Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy and Marines have and continue to make to the US.
