Veteran's Day

[greatbear]

Today is Veteran's Day. This is when we give thanks to those who have served in the various armed forces here in the U.S. I want to take this time to thank a very special soldier for her service during the Korean War. My Mom:



Pfc. Valentine Grace

Thanks, Mom, not only for your Army service, but the real war zone which was being a single parent raising me, instilling in me all your best values and virtues, providing for us within limited means, and for being the best person in the entire world. You were more than simply a parent, you were my world.

*salute*

Indeed, and having had an Air Force father, I know where you stand on this.

Hugs to you Phil.

Great photo of your mom. I'm sure she was as good a soldier as she was a mother. That's quite a memory.
