WE Remember
As we begin this New Year, we are thankful for the blessings bestowed on us as a FREE AMERICA! We are enjoying freedom because of our dedicated troops in all parts of the world. Our husbands, brothers, sons and daughters are sacrificing their personal freedom to keep us safe!
We currently do not have a mandatory "draft", so those who are protecting us have VOLUNTEERED to join the Armed Forces!
Please join me in prayer and remembrance for the safety of these SPECIAL PEOPLE!

Excellent image Pat...like how the flag resembles a heart. One of my favorite sayings is, "Without the Bbrave, there would be no Land for the Free". I readily join you!

  Thank you Pat for this tribute to our young men and women serving our country. I have a friend who has an Army daughter in Iraq and my son is a Marine in Iraq. I have a shot in my gallery of my son on the bus when he was returning to his unit after leave and then to Iraq. I pray for all our people over there all the time and I'm sure others do to. It's what will keep them safe spiritually, mentally and physically. Thanks again for your wonderful image to remind us all what it's all about. I think so many have forgotten 9/11 and need to be reminded.
