Veterans Day & Proud to be an American!!!!! - Remembering all who served & still serving!!!!

By

Veterans Day Veterans Day shouldn't be the only day to be proud as an American. We should be proud every day.  But it certainly should be a day to recognize all those men and woman who sacrificed their lives for our country and those still serving our proud country. If you don't know the true history on how Veterans Day was founded, please read this from Wikipedia : Veterans Day

I have been very fortunate to have never lost anyone close to me during War time or even during 911. My thoughts and prayers go out to those loved ones lost during these emotional times.  For many of you that know me, I am very passionate about our Country, who we are as a Nation, and for what we stand for. I have had the pleasure of serving in the US. Army for 2 years and I will never forget that part of my life. I was stationed at Ft. Stewart, Ga, from 1986 to 1988.

 

 

Veterans Day & Google

On a side note, I wanted to share what Google put out today, for Veteran's Day. I am always amazed on what they market on certain holidays. If you have read some of my blogs, I also have followed Google in the last year and their new images during specific holidays.  If you want to read more : Google & Marketing.... It's Halloween  And I want to thank Google for recognizing and remembering Veterans Day.

 

 

 

To all those that have served including those here on Active Rain...... I say, THANKS!!!!

 

 

 

Here are a few tributes to the men & women that have served, both past and present posts :

If anyone has a post that is related to Veterans Day for today or anything to help our men & women overseas for the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays, please supply the link in the comments below and I will add them in this post.  Thanks

 

 

 

KEY COMMENT :  In my humble opinion, so many of us say that we should thank those that have served our country on Veteran's Day and on Memorial Day.  I say that we should thank a Veteran no matter what day it is, 365 days out of the year. There should be no shame in this.  I thought this post by Pat Starnes is a great way to say thanks to those that have served. Please read : Salute our Veterans

Jeff - that's a great list, and thanks for providing the links.  I especially liked the "Greatest Generation" post by Marchel.  There's fewer and fewer of these folks left to thank for freedom in the Western World.

KENT.... . I still haven't read Marchel's blog as of yet... but I agree, there are fewer and fewer left.   And thanks for the compliment.

JASON..... .  yes, I think there were some great posts out there on this... About your mother-in-law, that is pretty interesting.  I guess it was years ago.  ;o)  And it was my pleasure serving. I still look back on it... thanks
