Veterans Day

November 11, 2007 by Lillie 

Today is Veterans Day in the US, a day designated to honor all who have served our country in the military. All of us are deeply indebted to all the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who have risked – and often given – their lives to protect our freedoms.

Today we say, “Thank you!”

The video Remembering the Fallen tells the inspiring story of how one woman, an artist, is honoring our fallen soldiers.

If I die before you wake expresses in words, music, and pictures the commitment of soldiers throughout our country’s history: “There’s just some things worth fighting for. … It ain’t too high a price to pay if I die before you wake.”

God bless our veterans and those who serve today.
