Thanks to all of you. A special thanks to Col. David Fox-my BFF's Dad, and Sgt Major Herman John Jr.-my Dad , both U.S. Army retired. These two career Army men both served in WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam, and are now at peace in that big Army in the sky. Another special thanks to two wonderful young men-my son Major Joey (as I like to call him), and my BFF's son Jeff-Navy of the USS Washington. Their Grandpa's are looking down proudly and wrapping their arms in love and protection around them
"You gave for peace with courage
That families may be free
So children could grow strong
And safe they'd ever be.

In giving for the sake of peace
You may have suffered loss
Your body may still show its wounds
From taking up the cause.
May remembrance of your time away
Your sacrifice for peace
Spur us on to strive more strongly
For freedom, that there'll be release.
From causes that sent some away
To fight that we may freely live
With gratefulness we thank you, veterans
For all you gave and give!"
