On this Veterans Day I wanted to break from the ongoing essay of the past few days and take time to honor our military veterans who have served, sacrificed and died that we can enjoy the freedoms we have here in the USA.

We are so blessed to be able to speak freely, to travel where we wish, to worship as we please and to pursue our dreams. This is possible because men and women have served in our military to preserve and protect those freedoms.

To those who have put on the uniform of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, and all those now serving both regular, reserve and National Guard, thank you for your gift to me and the rest of America.

Without your service, it is possible even these words would not be possible.

May God bless you and your families, and may God bless America.

I received the lyrics to a song written by Jerry Calow, A Tribute to Veterans. The lyrics to the song have been posted on our website, please take time to read the words and if you appreciate their message, write Jerry and let him know.

Tomorrow, the final installment of this week’s ramblin’s on last week’s election and the reaction of the left.
