Honor
As a mother of a son in the military, it gives me great joy to know that there are some in this country who appreciate those who have dedicated their lives to protecting us.
We are all dedicated to something. Some people are actively sacrificing and making this world a better place while others are dedicated only to benefiting themselves. Those of us who believe our purpose is to love God and love people seem to be the happiest and most satisfied with their lives. We should always avail ourselves to engage in the opportunities offered to show our understanding of the price paid for our freedom.
Tonight, Bill Federer will be joining us on “Home Front” to help us process where we are today.
Here I am with a few of my favorite veterans after the ceremony.

A Little Bit of Humor…
Shooting the breeze down at the Veteran’s hospital, a trio of old timers ran out of tales of their own heroic exploits and started bragging about their ancestors. “My great grandfather, at age 13,” one declared proudly, “was a drummer boy at Shiloh.”
“Mine,” boasted another, “went down with Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn.”
“I’m the only soldier in my family,” confessed vet number three, “but if my great grandfather was living today he’d be the most famous man in the world.”
“What’d he do?” his friends wanted to know.
“Nothing much. But he would be 165 years old.”
