Veteran's Day ~ Stories Told and Untold

These words come to mind on Veteran's Day.

Bravery. Families. Lives lost. Sacrifice. Honor. Duty. Laying down one's life for his friend. Protection. Gratitude. Patriotism. Community. Love. Today is not a day for political debate or negative discourse.

It is a day to remember and respect.

Can one promote peace and honor service men and women at the same time.

Of course they can.
I read somewhere that a soldier prays for peace above all.
Many of you expressed your gratitude and told your stories on peace globes.

The one seen above is by Julie.

Because she loves her daddy. Because his story deserves to be told.

Sicily Scene - For a story untold.

Ann Tracy's Waiting For The Muse ~

For stories waiting to be given a voice

Lori Hahn's plea for her son's future -

A story, God willing, that will never be told.

Greenbucks ~ Sobering lessons yet to be learned


The Ice Box speaks truth in a worrisome world where justice fades in the face of war..It is a brave thing to cry out for the oppressed while facing the oppressor.

This blog pays tribute to those who paid the ultimate price for my freedom and continue to bear arms because they are simply asked to serve and protect ....

Maybe this generation

won't have to be THIS generation

We honor all veterans of wars past and present

and those who continue to serve

until such a time as peace prevails
