Veterans' Day. I think in the United States, where we prize our opinions more than just about anything most days, it takes a special a person to put opinion aside and offer up life itself in service of a bunch of ideas that take their life and breath from some imaginative and clear thinkers along with a rag-tag bunch of rebels a few centuries ago. It's not the way we're made. Love takes many shapes, many forms. That kind of patriotism is one of them.

You are so right.
ReplyDeleteI always wished I could fly to take them all under my wing and protect them from the dangers they face.
Life should not be about danger but about love and freedom.
If you have both, we would not require so many laws.The world would be safe and secure.
Thank you for your post. It was lovely for Veteran’s Day. I, too, posted in honor of my daddy who served in WWI...This is always a day of sadness for me when I think of what he and the other endured as they fought in the Great War. We must NEVER forget our veterans and their families.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and a great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I love this picture of our Flag....and what a beautiful clear sky it was today for all of the events taking place for this special day when we honor not only our lost but also out living. Our military has made this country what it is and I stand behind them 110%. Brightest Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteNothing greater to see with my eyes than a flag of the US! Hope your had a great celebration for our men and women who served and continue to do so. I got my post up late but I gave them a shout out too. . .
