I picked this photo today for my profile pic on Facebook randomly through Google search for images. It sent the visual message I wanted today. Later as I read through my newsfeed, I saw that someone else had posted the photo as well, but with the history. Joseph Ambrose, an 86-year-old World War I veteran, attends the dedication day parade for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He is holding the flag that covered the casket of his son, who was killed in the Korean War. Amazing sacrifices have been made.
I am re-posting from my Memorial Day entry this past May, because it is so appropriate (except for the summer references) for today, Veterans Day. I defy anyone to watch the link within this post and not feel immense gratitude for anyone who has willingly served this country. They deserve more than a free meal at Applebees today. They deserve our undying gratitude! Please follow the link below to read the original post.
