Veteran's Day: Silent Pictorial Salute

I received an email with several pictures in it as a tribute to Veteran's Day from a friend of mine, Bill Lambright.  I was touched, and wanted to pass them on.  I feel extremely grateful to the men and women of the U.S. Military, who fought for our freedom, paid with their blood, and continue to fight to this day.  Without their sacrifices, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms that we have today.  Veterans are often the most overlooked heroes in our country, and they should be the first.  I consider my father, Andrew T. Kennedy Jr, a hero.  He served in the US Army during World War II in the European Theater.  I have been blessed to be guided by his hand.

Bill, thank you for the pictures, and thank you for your service in the US Navy.

 Prayer for a fallen comrade.

Helmets, Rifles and Boots and a Friend! Freedom is NEVER free!

 Heads bowed in the sun
