Once known as Armistice Day because the first World War hostilities ceased on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Veterans Day is now a federal holiday that honors people who have served in the armed forces.
Thank you for Serving, today we honor all of our veterans.
The most persistent sound which reverberates through men's history is the beating of war drums. ~Arthur Koestler, Janus

What a gorgeous flag!!! The quote in blue is very sad to me. We are not a nation under God and never have been...slavery and the Indians, we love war.
ReplyDeleteYour comment on my blog about the woman holding a pumpkin..at first I could not figure it out, then it dawned on me. This is not a woman, it is the Pumpkin Man!!! He is maybe 40 or so and lives with his old father, who has even longer hair. They both look like those guys on Duck Dynasty, I kid you not!! I didn't say anything about them because he was nice to me, so I left that part out.
ReplyDeleteI could never do what they do and I am so thankful for their service to our country!
ReplyDeleteWE SAY THANK YOU TO ALL VETERANS PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE FOR THEIR SERVICE.
ReplyDeleteHugs madi your bfff
