I've maxed out. Closed this blog.
This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by.

         Once again we honor those who have served their country. It is a sacred duty to cherish the sacrifices of time, health, relationships, limb, and life for the freedoms we hold dear. We must also assess how we honor them and help the surviving return to society. It is also important to ask ourselves how we will continue to participate or support the struggle to keep those freedoms, so that their losses will not be in vain.

         With words, I and many others say "Thank you," to all who have served in the military, and to their families for their courage and endurance. I hope that those with jobs to offer will give first choice to a vet. To the wounded, I know my words may ring hollow and useless. I pray our government sustains your medical benefits, and that medical care is not "rationed", as claimed. I can support Wounded Warriors and other organizations that aids veterans.

         My words are really all I have to offer. Being too old and unhealthy to enlist myself, I can be an advocate for veterans. I can use every forum available to me, in church, in writing, in the workplace, and every community gathering to speak out on the behalf of veterans. I can encourage others to do the same. We can be a community at large that supports our veterans and lifts them up, supporting them, and making opportunities available.

         If you have served in any war or military action, I thank you. Despite the way it may sound from time to time, you have a grateful citizenry Your fellow country men and women do appreciate your service>With grateful hearts, we honor you.
