Read, PA Veteran's Day

In celebraton of Veteren's Day, today, on 11/11 @ 11:11 AM, take a moment of silence, for Armistice Day (The anniversary of the Armistice which was signed in the Forest of Compiegne by the Allies and the Germans in 1918, ending World War I, after four years of conflict).

I came accross this poem that I thought expressed my gratitude for the "Unknown Soldier".


Because of You, Unknown Soldier
By Courtney Tanabe


Because of you, I am here
Because of you, I am able to live freely

Yet I do not know you
And I have not done anything for you

But there you stand, ready to fight
And there you are prepared to die

For me

You've fought before
And you'll fight again
For someone you don't know

So thank you Unknown Soldier
Fighting for me

I'm here because of you
And I owe my future to you

 

Lest we forget....

Eulogy for a Veteran

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the Gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

To the men and women who have served, and serve today, our country for our freedom and peace and to make this world safe for the generations to come that some will never see.

God bless and Godspeed home!

It is a great honor for me to share this day with you!
