Everyone keep your minds open to upcoming Veterans Day. Thursday November 11th and take some time to remember the fallen for our country.
Imagine a young 18 year old draftee in the Vietnam war. Fighting with his high school buddies in a forest of Vietnam. Laying there taking fire, while his buddies fall one by one till he is the only one left. Clutching his M-16 he charges and falls, he falls for good and his light is extinguished.
How can we remember, that one draftee that fell in one place, on one battle field, in one conflict, in one war, in one country, fighting for us and our freedom, huh?
The answer is Veterans Day.- Take a moment to reflect and thank all those who died for our freedom and doing what we are doing right now, reading and posting on these forum boards, that we have the freedom to do so because of people who were brave to die for our countries freedom.
AND don't forget to say a prayer for all those who have fallen in our history and for the people affected by those who were brave enough to do this for us. The power of prayer can lift any pain created from fallen veterans felt from their families.
I know I will take a moment to remember those who have fallen and those who have served and are serving us by fighting for our country.
Even if we can get everyone to say one prayer for the veterans on Thursday both fallen and current veterans it will help. The power of prayer is immeasurable but still every prayer helps.
