Veterans Day -

This was taken right before Marc deployed...
(Look at how young Broxton was!)

As most of you know...
Marc was not home last year...
He was in Afghanistan.
So, on this Veterans Day...
He is home...
and we are happy!

Please, take a minute today.
Thank a vet.
Say a prayer for those who have served or are currently serving.
They ALL need to know that they are supported.
Still to this day, if I see anyone with the Vietnam hat or anything like that...
I ALWAYS stop and say Thanks.
You can see the thanks in their eyes.
And yes, I tear up every single time too.

There are Veterans from long ago that still to this day have never been Thanked for their service. You know, when they came home, it was NOTHING like it is today. NOTHING. So, that two seconds that it takes to say Thanks... Might mean more than you (or I) will ever know.

For more information on Veterans Day, please visit the Department of Veterans Affairs website.
They have information like this:

Which is the correct spelling of Veterans Day?

a. Veterans Day
b. Veteran's Day
c. Veterans' Day

Veterans Day (choice a, above). Veterans Day does not include an apostrophe but does include an "s" at the end of "veterans" because it is not a day that "belongs" to veterans, it is a day for honoring all veterans


This was taken THE NIGHT Marc landed!
(See how much Broxton grew?!)

Thank you to ALL of our Military.
As well as the Military Families!!!
