Remembering our soldiers

[FaranH]

I know this isn't really a Spyder topic, except that I know we have Spyderlovers out there who have served or are serving this country. I just want to say thanks to the men and women who have given so much to allow us the freedoms we so enjoy and too often take for granted.

We had 31 people over to cook out last night and 5 of the men had served in the military. I've heard a few of their stories and am amazed they are sane. In church this morning my husband had the privilege of praying with a young man who served in Afghanistan and is haunted by visions of death and graves. Last week I saw a disabled veteran at the hardware store. When I told him how grateful I was, he said he'd do it all over again. He'd been paralyzed for 36 years. I could only shake my head.

It's a tiny gesture for all that you've given, but to all you veterans and active duty Spyderlovers:

:clap:God Bless You and Thanks.:clap:​

Thank you. I continue to pray for those that are currently serving and for those who did not come home the same way as they left. Freedom is definitely not free, and everyone should be mindful of that always. :thumbup:

I always try to make it to the parade and ceremony held in our little town. Today there was a fly over by 4 planes, looked like WWII era, with that wonderful bass sound of the engines. Anyway, it was an exclamation point to remind us of the purpose of the day.
