Veteran's Day or Remembrance Day 11/11/11.

This is what I posted on my Facebook profile today to honor the veterans in my family. Though I just realized that I forgot some of my husband family, Father was in the Air Force, Maternal Grandfather in the Navy and others but I can't remember exactly what service they were in though his brother is in the US Army National Guard, his paternal grandfather as well as a stepbrother were also in the service.

Thanks to all who have served, currently serve and will serve in the future to preserve our freedoms.

On this Veteran's Day I would like to thank my very own veteran Rick,(even though he is not here currently on deployment #4) for helping to protect and serve this country. I am also grateful for my other ancestors who have fought for freedom and sacrificed with their lives.

Thanks to my brother Mark for setting this up:
