For All My Veterans

Dear Heroes:

How can I ever thank you enough for your willingness to sacrifice everthing, including your lives, for the sake of freedom? America is one of the few countries whose first choice is to fight for good, even if it isn’t for ourselves. And you are the instruments of that good fight.

Thank you for the blood you’ve spilled on foreign soil. Thank you for the body parts you’ve lost in the cause. Thank you for not giving up. Your courage is my comfort, and I pray for you all every day.

Please know that your country loves you, honors you, and thanks you from the bottom of her heart for your sacrifices. And, know, too, that this little old lady has a special place in her heart for you all.

And to my own two special heroes, I say this: “You boys will never know how proud your mother is of your selfless service. Thank you for stepping up and signing on that dotted line. Thank you for making your dad and I feel so good about you. May you live long and enjoy the fruits of your sacrifice, beside the rest of your heroic brothers in arms, and may you always know how my heart swells when I see the flag fly anywhere and know that you were willing to give your all to keep it floating on the air.

May God bless you ALL, and may God bless America and keep her true to her founding and FREE for our posterity.
