Veteran's Day....







Happy Veteran's Day to all of our soldiers past and present who have served this great country. We especially remember my brother Jim, Uncle Dale, Uncle Cueball, Ron, and Eric's grandfather, Fabion. Thank you for your sacrifices. I found this poem on a website and thought it was fitting....






The American Hero
by Roger Robicheau



The American Hero always comes through



To capture our hearts with a spirit so true



Some proudly are soldiers who march in harm’s way



Insuring our freedom, courageous they stay



While others come forth as civilians so brave



Determined in purpose, so steadfast to save



We should always keep clear a place in our heart



For each has a value beyond precious art



Their duty to country will not be surpassed



Please honor their courage, for some it’s their last



We live in a world which can be hard to bear



Thank God for these people, how greatly they care



Do ponder new heroes and what they will face



And pray for their safety no matter their place



Our heritage brings out the best, we all know



Our great book of heroes is destined to grow
