Veteran's Day 2008


"On this Veterans Day, bless all those men and women who, for devotion to their country and to the common good have offered themselves in service to our nation."
.
I'm remembering today sitting in the bleachers in South Carolina hearing my son and his boot camp colleagues swear to "defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
.
Today I give thanks for ALL the brave men and women who have committed themselves to that task on behalf of all that makes America great -- and I give thanks as well for those who work for peace AND for those who this very day will march in the streets to defend that same constitution from those who would amend it to discriminate rather than liberate.
.
God bless ALL who strive to make this nation a nation of liberty and justice for ALL!
