There is nothing greater than the heart of a volunteer. ~General James H. Doolittle
I was never so proud as I was on the day I put my hand up and took the oath to serve, protect and defend our country. To serve the nation that guaranteed my freedom. All of those who have, do and will stand beside me to protect America are my brothers and sisters and our nation owes them a debt of gratitude that should be honored always.
Today, especially, find a veteran and say thank you. Those of us who served say thanks to those who went before and gave us a nation to protect and to those who served after so she still stands.
Thank you all for your part in our country's history.

What a treat, Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen! It’s hard to “one up” a hand shake like that! I won’t even try!

LTC Stephen C. What was more impressive was that he shook hands with every member of our Wing.

To all of you who went, and to all of those who did not come back again ... thank you! The debt that is owed to you by your country can never be repaid,but I want you to know that you are respected, honored, and loved, you and the families who sacrificed along with you.

“I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man [or woman] who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: ‘I served in the United States Navy.”
John F. Kennedy
Or the Army, or the Marines, or the Coast Guard, Or the Air Force!
Thank you All.

Good afternoon my friend and sister-in-Christ Sgt Deborah Cornatzer.
Heavenly Father, I pray that YOU will outpour love upon this nation today. Let Veterans Day be a day of reflection, compassion and outreach to and from veterans across this land.
Let YOUR light to and through each of YOUR adopted children today. I pray that those without family or friends will be blessed today as YOU bring people into their lives and that YOU Holy Spirit will minister to each one suffering alone today.
Use YOUR people oh LORD.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
