    It's a little early but I'd just like to remind all of you that Veterans Day is coming this Thursday on Nov. 11th. These men and women have given their service to our country and many of them gave more than that. They gave their lives to defend our freedom.
    If you know a veteran, take the time to shake his or her hand and thank them. They have earned and deserve our respect and gratitude. Even if you don't know one personally please take the time and think of the freedom you have and say a silent word of thanks to those that have served and especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice for Country.

    My thanks to all of you members that have served or are serving. You have my full respect and gratitude.

    Without the sacrifice of our military personnel we would not be the country we are today.

    For their service to our nation, we salute
    A tear streaming down our cheek
    The brave men and women deserve our tribute
    Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is what they seek
    So they fight for our right to withhold these truths three
    Defending the homeland with their sacrifice and pain
    Bravery and honor we do see
    Freedom and our way of life we do gain
    So stand tall all you who have served us well
    Once again home or laid to rest
    Your heroic story we will tell
    You are our finest, our very best

    Thank you. After I read your post this morning I felt I should compose a tribute.
