Thank You Veterans!

Today we here at Gracie's Blog wish to thank all of the Veterans who have served this GREAT Country and kept us free.
We hope we won't get into any trouble by re-posting a poem by John Alton Robinson of West Monroe,LA printed in today's Annie's Mailbox advice column.

"Freedom"

From the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

To the silver haired crowns of our fathers
From the shores of Tripoli
To the Pacific's pearl-green waters
I wish to give a tribute
A four-starred salute today
For those who fought so bravely
For our freedom and American way.
We take our rights for granted
But they were earned in blue-red blood
And courage beyond the call of duty
In France's cold wet mud.
Beginning with the Revolution
Through the Saudi Arabian sands
Men have fought and suffered
And died on foreign lands.
So salute this Veteran's Day And many more to come.
Through blood and guts and glory
Our freedom has been won.


Thank you to all who served and preserved the American Way of life. We are grateful!
