Just a short note on Veterans Day: “A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.” Many of our veterans made the ultimate sacrifice. God bless them. But God bless everyone who has worn the uniform of the United States of America.
They are defending America, keeping us free, working miracles on a daily basis. Setting examples of the strongest possible character and the best possible behavior. My saintly wife’s late father, Colonel Hollister Pond, actually served in five wars before retiring as an Air Force colonel. My own late father served in World War II in the old Army Air Corps over Europe. He was a navigator. Bless both of those great men.
President Trump earlier today honored our veterans at Arlington National Cemetery. “On Veterans Day, we reaffirm our undying gratitude to every patriot who has answered the call of duty. We pay tribute to all of those who have won the wars and worn the uniform, who faced the enemy. Who have beaten the enemy at every turn. Who have borne the burdens of fate and destiny to stand as a protection in battle, or indeed, our protection in battle.”
Military veterans have kept this country free and great for over 250 years. We thank them and dedicate this day to them. Thank you for your service and God bless America.
