Thank you to all our veterans.
Their service (and sacrifice) keeps us safe and secure. They are all heroes.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month...
...also known as Veterans Day here in the U.S. Its original purpose was to honor veterans of WWI, but grew to honor all veterans. I put my flag out this morning... ...
All hail our heroes, fallen . . .
. . . and standing. Two members of my family are US Marines; Mom's Uncle Harry perished at sea in 1943 when a U-boat sank his ship. 🇺🇸
My father was in the army in Germany just after the war...
...and still going strong at 94 : ) Both of my uncles were in the army during the Korean conflict. One played baseball for the army team in Japan, but the other was in heavy combat at Inchon among other places...
Thank you to all our veterans.

Henry Gunther …
Henry Gunther was killed one minute before the armistice was to take effect. Gunther’s was the last American death of the First World War. ...
Can you imagine all the things that had to happen for this to come to pass?
...maybe he could have brushed his teeth a little longer in the morning...the fickle finger of fate...
