I recall a man that used to be on 1190AM radio, he made a comment on the air and it stuck: if you ever want to go to somewhere that is inspiring go to Jefferson barracks or other military resting place.. there are champions there. Thank you to all men and women I salute you! While I didn’t serve, my respect for my country grew and the respect for those special people flourished..God Bless all of them!
Thanks to all that served. I didn’t but a few others in the family did.
The horror of war was made very real when wife and I visited her family in France.
They live in he alps, near the France Italy Switzerland border. Her uncle was a teen in WWII.
When ever Germans or Germany is mentioned his voice changes. I don’t think much about it.
One day we are touring around. As we pass by various spots he remarks “over there the Germans killed sixty villagers”, or “in that square they hung ten men”. There were many such comments.
Here in nice, safe, North America our young people didn’t have to face that.
Taking the train through the countryside you pass many, many graveyards, where in two world wars millions died, were buried, and are now farmed around.
Remembrance Day is a big deal over there. Their young people learn about it in school. Entire villages turn out for ceremonies.
My wish for this Veterans day is that there will always be that 1% who will stand up and take on the mantle of Defender of Liberty. Without them we wouldn't exist today, and will not survive into the future.
