Just a note to say "Thank You" to the many veterans who have passed on.

 Like Christmas, your service may have been reduced to an occasion for "businesses" to have a sale.

 But there are more than you think who remember, if not first hand, then passed down to the next generation.

 Your sacrifice is remembered and precious to those of us who served, but were not called to offer that ultimate gift.

 "Greater love" indeed, as The "Good Book" says:

 You gave that others may have. The best we can do is honor you now and emulate you when we are called and give that gift freely that freedom might live on.

Thank You.

From the deepest of my heart:
