    I hope we all take the time tomorrow to thank a Veteran for the sacrifices in keeping us safe, and free. We are so blessed to live in a Free Nation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who have served in and continues to serve in keeping us safe, protected and free. :sete_005: :stew1:

    I try to think of them often during the years but today, especially with the pickle the world is in, I say an extra thanks to the Vets for keeping our nation free.

    Thanks for the thoughts. I was making new tomato cages in the driveway today, listening to the radio. At 1 O'clock, they played America the Beautiful. The missus asked me why I was crying.


    How can anyone explain? I love my country, and would gladly serve again. Even with all that is not right with her.

    FBG we went to a Memorial Day service held at my home town Vetrens Memorial yesterday. The last song they sang was, America the Beautiful. I to cried. I am so thankful to be living in such a God Blessed nation and have all the freedoms we do. I hope we never take those for granted. Glad you all liked the post. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :stew1:
