Thank you Veterans!!

Today is the day we observe Memorial day!
We remember those who have put their lives on the line to keep this country free and we remember those who have given their lives for our freedom!
I come from a Military family, my dad, his dad, and his granddad!! My dad is retired from the US Air Force, he proudly served his country for 22 years, first in the US Navy for 4 years and then in the US Air Force for 18 years! I am so proud of my dad and all the sacrifices he made to help keep this country free, for me, for my children, and for my grandchildren. Thank you Dad, for your service, thank you for teaching me to love this country, thank you for making me proud to be an American!!


This is my dad in the Navy:This is my dad in the Air Force:

Here are a few more pics of my dad from his years in the USAF

This is my dad today!! Isn't he cute in his overalls??

I would also like to thank my brother Robert, for his service in the US Navy, thank you for the sacrifices you made to serve your country!

Thank you to my son Matthew, who is currently serving in the US Coast Guard, I am so proud of you, Matthew and I am thankful to you for all you do to serve your country!!

This is my Uncle Berryman Warren who served in the US Navy, he was my mom's brother!

My nephew Coy also serves in the US Navy!!

Thank you to all the men and women who have served this country or who are presently serving!! We know the sacrifices you are making and we are so thankful!!

Please remember Freedom does not come Free!!

And My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

(II Chronicles 7:14 NASB)

What a wonderful reminder of what this day is all about! Not hamburgers, hot dogs, grilling out, etc...but to remember all the people who have fought for our freedom! You really do have a long lineage of military:)

Thank you for that special tribute to your family in the military. Memorial day is so special to me,having served in the USAF it makes me so sad when all the focus is on food!
