Veterans Day 2013

On Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, we pay respect to those men and women of the US military who have fallen in service of our great nation.

On Armed Forces Day, the third Saturday in May, we celebrate and thank all who have served or who are serving in our military.

Today is the 11th of November - Veterans Day - the day we honor those those who served or who are serving in combat.

 This political "cartoon" sums it up well for us:


Here at Ao4 HQs, we understand that freedom is not free. We thank our veterans for their selfless service, dedication to duty, and their courage. It is because of these men and women that we enjoy the great freedoms we have today. They are the strength of America.

Veterans, we thank God for you and pray for His blessing on each and every one of you.

    With grandparents who fought in WWII, a husband who fought in Vietnam, and my childhood spent in Saudi Arabia, I have the utmost appreciation for all who have served in the armed forces so that we all can enjoy the privileges that come with being an American.

    We too say thank you to all the veterans past and present because of them we are free and safe. Yesterday was our Remembrance Day and today is Poppy day over here.
    Have a marvellous Monday.
