What is a Veteran?
A Veteran whether active duty, discharged, retired or reserve
is someone who at some point in his/her life
wrote a blank check payable to "The United States of America"
for an amount "up to, and including his/her life"
I am thankful for all those brave men and women who have, are and will serve our country.
Happy Veteran's Day!
Beautiful post, Karin!
ReplyDeleteSo relevant and true! I just wish our country created more peace than veterans.
ReplyDeleteA great tribute, Karin. Jenny at Rock Rose posted a nice tribute this morning too explaining the significance of the red poppies. I'll never look at them the same way again.
ReplyDeleteThe veterans will be so thankful for your remembrance of them...here's to creating more peace than veterans as Casa Mariposa so wonderfully said.
