Veteran's Day 2007

Today is Veteran's Day. I hope you had a chance to go to a ceremony, thank a Vet, or at least reflect on what you have as a result of sacrifices others have made on your behalf. Our church had a special tribute to Vets, which was nice. There were more in our church than I would have guessed. Then, we went to a ceremony at a WWII Monument, and the speaker talked about the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. I didn't know this: Memorial Day is in memory of our service men and women who have lost their lives while serving while Veteran's Day is to pay tribute to all men and women who have served honorably, whether in active duty or not, and no matter when the service was. He encouraged us to especially remember and thank those Vets who have served at some time and are still alive today. Thank God today for those who have risked their lives for you and the freedom you are able to enjoy!
