Today is Veterans Day in the U.S. and as we always do, we want to express my heartfelt thanks to our veterans for their dedication and service to our great country. Not only have our veterans protected us and our freedom during times of war, they also look after us during times of peace as well.
While we would prefer that things always be peaceful, the reality is often otherwise, especially this year. During times of war or crisis our veterans are always there. It’s not just the human veterans that I am thankful for today, I am also thankful for the countless animals that served our country too. The horses, dogs, cats, mules, homing pigeons, and others served our country with pride and dignity too.
Please thank a Veteran today, and every single day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

There has even been a bear who named Wojtek, adopted by Polish soldiers during WWII. He resupplied the men with artillery shells 🙂 Be well!

Siempre hay que recordar a los veteranos. Te mando un beso.
Andy is a veteran, but fortunately he served his two years here in the U.S., not in active fighting.
We, too, are so grateful for our veterans, and their service for us all.
Thank you for your service, all who have served! I am thankful to Grandpa (my dad, my children’s grandfather, just called “Grandpa” on my blog) and our Little Girl, who both served in the Army.
I LOVE your graphic! Can’t believe I forgot all about it this year!! Eeek!!!!!
Thank you!
