Yesterday, Veteran's Day, was the 25th anniversary of the Vietnam Wall in DC. I recently took Luke to the "Moving" Wall when it traveled to our town. I explained to him, as best I could, the significance of the wall, and how his Pa, my dad, was a Vietnam Veteran. He told me he was glad his Pa's name wasn't on that wall.
We are blessed to be born Americans, but we did not acquire our liberties without cost. Someone paid our price. Such great love.
To all veterans, to my veterans: my dad, my brother, my husband, and to the men and women serving today, thank you.
