thank you, veterans.  thank you to those who are still serving.  thank you.

for those who missed the parade yesterday, Ben Poenisch (see last foto) and myself went downtown and tried to capture a bit of the essence of veterans day.  i ran into a family from my church while there and they had made signs that expressed a variety of grateful words to the veterans.  veterans were very appreciative of the signs as well as us just saying to them "thank you".  don't wait until next year to tell a veteran or anyone serving the country thank you.  do it now.  do it tomorrow. and don't just say thanks, but pray for them.  get involved somehow.  if you don't know someone serving find someone who is and take the time to write a simple letter to them.  they'll love, i guarantee it!  well, enjoy the pictures and the freedom!
