Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, is a day to honor those who have fallen in the service of our country - our war dead.
Veterans Day, the 11th day of November, is when we honor those who served or who are serving in combat.
Armed Forces Day, the third Saturday in May, is a day we celebrate and thank all those who served or who are serving in our military.
And so we would like to take this day, this Armed Forces Day, to thank everyone who honorably served or is currently serving in our nation's military. We know we have you to thank for the freedoms we enjoy today and every day.
Here at Ao4 Headquarters we are so grateful to the brave men and women of our Armed Services! Army! Navy! Air Force! Marines! Coast Guard! We appreciate you, we honor you, and we love you. Especially our daddy ... our favorite soldier of all time!
Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher and Cammie!
Well said girls, well said. Give your dad a great big smooch from me with my heart felt gratitude. I am also including a little smooch for each of you.
