Saturday, 11 November 2006 - Veteran's Day

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for our nation's war veterans - for their dedication, sacrifice and valor. Freedom isn't free.

Valor is stability,
not of legs and arms,
but of courage and the soul.

~Michel de Montaigne

When our perils are past,

shall our gratitude sleep?

~George Canning

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
