Never Forget

Today is Veteran's Day.

All the veterans alive and gone are the reason I can write whatever I want on this blog.
Veterans are the reason I can go to work, sit at my desk and earn a living.
Veterans are the reason I can go to sleep at night and sleep soundly.
Veterans are the reason I can put my son to sleep and close his door.
Veterans are the reason I can go to the grocery store, spend my money and talk with the cashier about the beautiful weather.
Veterans are the reason I was able to marry the man I wanted to marry.
Veterans are the reason I was happy to bring my son in to the world.
Veterans are the reason I can sit on my couch and watch the Denver Broncos play football.
Veterans are the reason I can get on a plane and fly to go see my family or friends.
Veterans are the reason I can plan a Thanksgiving dinner with my family.
Veterans are the reason I can make a meal every night for my family.
Veterans are the reason I can sit on my back porch with my girlfriends, sip red wine and giggle about whatever we want to giggle about.
Veterans are the reason I have a house over my head and car to drive.
Veterans are the reason I can live comfortably without worrying for my safety.

American Veterans past, present, and future are the reason we all can live the way we do.
Please thank a veteran today, pray for our veterans today, and remember the selfless sacrifices they have made and continue to make for our freedoms and safety.



Thank you Grandpa Dinkel for your life and your sacrfices. I wish my son could have met his Great Grandpa Dinkel and could have thanked him for his service.

Thank you to all the veterans that have touched my life.

I am in awe of your service.
