“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.” — Ronald Reagan

If you know a Veteran, someone in your family, friend of the family, neighbor, who served their country, take a brief moment of your day to thank them. Thank them for the sacrifice they made for the better good of their country. I am so very thankful for every service member in our military who has served our great nation. So, to the men and women who answered the call in both times of war and peace, I thank you. from Wild Thing

This is a special Tribute to my Vietnam Veterans. This is for YOU, for you that have been to the Nam, for each of you that live inside my heart, for my Nam Vets and your wives and loved ones.
The tears I shed for our POWs and MIA’s will never dry in my heart. Never Forget them as you read my POW-MIA page and carry them in your heart and prayers as well.
