At church on Sunday, our pastor asked that all the vets stand up. Only 3 people out of perhaps 2000 stood. I was in the choir and knew that couldn't be correct! Suddenly, the pastor recognized the problem and quickly said "Oh, I mean Veterans!" and the three veterinarians took their seats while 20-30 veterans stood to the applause of the congregation. It was a light-hearted moment during a serious, respectful tribute to the men and women that died to ensure that we could gather that Sunday. I hope you have a story to tell about how you honored our war … (3 comments)
Blogging is new to me, so this should be interesting. I've read a few on other sites and they seem so rambling and sometimes irrelevant. Hopefully, this won't drop to that level! LOL!
