Today Hayleigh and I went to Ogden to the Veterans Parade, the weather was beautiful, and the atmosphere was the same. It was unbelievable to see all of the "VETS" from every race, every shape and size come together and share "their" day together. It really made me realize life and the things that are the most important. It is funny to be back now and see how "material" life is here and how others are always keeping up with the Jones's, being overseas with all of the military you weren't keeping up with the Jones's you were looking out for the Jones's. Making sure that the families that the mother or father was deployed were OK, helping them out and supporting them as a family who's member was doing the unthinkable so that the Jones's were taken care of as well. I ask everyone who reads this as Veterans Day is here, take a moment on 11/11/09, a moment to Thank a present or past soldier for what they have done or are doing for you and your family! And as the holidays approach, add a soldier, a vet at the Vet Hospital to your holiday card list or even gift list let them know that they are remembered for their duty!
I Thank the Vets in my life !!
God Bless!
