On this special day when we honor and remember those that have fought for America, take a moment to visit this website:
Today, we remember and give thanks for those very special people that we call "veterans." A dear family member passed away recently - one of my biggest fans and supporters. He fought bravely in World War II and came back from the war with a commitment to make sure that children learned about our veterans and honored their service. Visiting schools all over Michigan, he and a fellow veteran talked to classroom after classroom over the years - sharing their stories and bearing the torch of patriotism. I miss his smile and nod of reassurance, as well as knowing he was there, talking to kids and sharing his love of this great country.
He was a man to remember, and a man that I am proud to have counted among my friends. When he first read my book on Patriotic Holidays, he went on and on about how this was needed - promoting it with the VFW, teachers, and other veterans. He kept pushing me to keep on writing, and he loved to tell me how much it meant to him to have kids remember the veterans.
So today, we honor Jack, Billy, Patrick, Ken, and all of their fellow veterans - for their service to this great country, and for their service to support America's veterans.
Blessings,
Amanda B.
