Today is the day that we stop to honor those who died in military service to our country. We've morphed this holiday into a summer launch day, minimizing the somber, honoring that was originally intended. My grandfather, at 94 years old and a veteran of WWII, doesn't forget. He remembers those that he personally knew and lost, he remembers those he doesn't personally know, but honors. I'm grateful for his example and reminder each year.
I decided to share this patriotically colored card on this day. For all the "you" individuals for whom this day is not a summer launch day, but a day to remember.
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
–John F. Kennedy

Thank you so much for your kind words. Isn't it fun to encourage one another, even from a distance?
