Thank You Veterans!

As this Veteran's Day draws to a close, I just want to thank all of the veterans who make this country so incredibly great!  This evening we were going to go to the Golden Corral Restaurant for a free dinner for hubby as they were offering free meals for vets this evening.  When I called, they said the line was more than a block long so we opted instead for our own meal with contributions from friends who have spent time with us recently.  It was a wonderful meal!

This last week my daughter and granddaughter collected things that a local group is putting together and shipping to the soldiers in Iraq to make their lives a little bit easier.  We contributed a large grocery bag of items as our way of saying thank you.  If you are interested, here is a website where you can find your state and places where you can help support the troops.  http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/states.aspx

No matter how you feel about the politics in Washington, these men and women are over there putting their lives on the line 24/7 so that we have our freedoms here.  It is what soldiers have done since this country was founded.
