Thank you to all that have served and are serving in our armed forces. They fought for our families, our faith and all our freedoms. God Bless each and every veteran today and always.

Where the use of poppies on Veteran's Day came from:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)

I put this on another site and REMEMBER THIS PLEASE !!!

Support our Troops but DO NOT SUPPORT THE PEOPLE that lie to these kids about the ARMY. Weds is Veteran Day and I have a son in the Army and trust me its has not been as easy as these recruiters make it sound. BTW here is one for you, these recruters are making $$$$ for every kid they talk into going in, nice isn't it. No I cant be a fan to Army supported racing programs OUR KIDS need all that STUPID money being spent

No. 1 Recruiter's DO NOT make any money for enlistee's who sign up.

No. 2 It was your son's choice to join.

No. 3 It's easy to get out as the Army does not want anyone who doesn't want to be in, they are a danger to other soldier's lives in combat. I'm sorry your not happy with his choice.
