Happy Veteran's Day to you PurplePansies, and all other service members! I didn't serve, but my dear hubby did before we met. I also thank you all for your service, whether as a member of the forces, or as a spouse.

I remember it was called Armistice Day when I was a child. It commemorated the end of WWI. So many wars since then and so many brave men and women who fought to defend this country. My husband and my grandson are veterans and my dad served for 25 years in the Army Air Corps. My grateful thanks to all of our veterans.

I want to thank all my family and friends that have been in service to this great country! Especially want to pay respects to friends and family who gave their lives in service to this nation. Over my life time there have been many.

My granddaughter read"'In Flanders Fields" and laid the wreath for the Champs division of War Amps, at their local Remembrance Day ceremony. We watched on YouTube. War Amps is such a wonderful organization, helping not only soldiers injured in conflict, but also children like our DGD, who was born missing part of a limb. Every day should be Remembrance Day.
