Remember Them All...

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Tuesday, November 11, 2008 31 Of Your Sparks

COUCH NOTE: The following was originally posted in 2006 & 2007


"SOLDIERS BE PROUD"


Today is the day we honor the men and women who
have worn the uniform of the
UNITED STATES military services.




It is also the day our neighbor (neighbour) to the north
CANADA
celebrates the men and women who have served for their country


Many have served...
have fought in battles to protect
the rights of the citizens of the
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
and
CANADA
and to provide freedom throughout the world.



Many have not returned...
from these battles, their blood spilled -

leaving behind families and friends.


Many have come back...
different, both physically and mentally -

never to be the same.



Many, the lucky ones, have returned...
to rejoin our society -
to regain their lives.



Today, take a minute out of your day and stop...
bow your head...and say a silent prayer for
every single one of these brave veterans.

Matt is a MARINE
Congratulations Sir.
Good luck...be safe always






It is Veteran's Day and Remembrance Day but let's not forget those
men and women who are serving us today.


I found out about this on THE ICE BOX the blog

of one of our friend Songbird.


A site where you can send a postcard

to a member of the US military

thanking them for their service.

A GREAT IDEA!

Find it HERE


COUCH UPDATE: This was part of a comment left by Nancy today:

A US Navy veteran I work with sent the below web page via our work email to all employees requesting that everyone take a minute to thank the men and women serving today. I want to share his message with everyone sitting on The Couch:

“I would ask that you thank those soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guardsmen that you may come across in your daily lives for their sacrifices. Their time away from loved ones, their misery in combat, the fear they may encounter and the undeserved guilt they may feel for coming home when others do not.

On this Veterans day, if you are so inclined, you can send a message to our Service men and women serving our nation both Home and abroad by going to this website.

Go Check It Out!



Finally, on a personal note...

THANK YOU GRANDPA - WWI
&

THANK YOU DAD - KOREA
