Thank your veteran and your active troops

Every year I do a post about how much the armed forces mean to this country.This year is no different.

Today I was listening to Preston and Steve (wmmr 93.3 outta philly) and they mentioned an email that a soldier had sent them. It made me realize we are all in this together

Civilians dont realize how much they play a role in morale for troops who are overseas.
Thoughts and prayers, thank yous and care packages go a long way in reminding the troops of why they do what they do. So thank your veteran and military personnel.


Here is a poem and it explains why there are poppies being given on Nov 11 in the US and worn all over the world in remembrance of those who died serving their various countries.

In Flanders Fields By:
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army

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.
