Veteran's Day


Today is Veteran's Day. To think that on November 11, 1911 many people truly believed that the 'War to end all wars' was over and so was the reality of world wars. Unfortunately, there will always be those who want more...power, land, resources. Thank goodness there are people willing to serve our country to protect it and all it stands for. I am especially thankful to my dad, Billy Ellis, Retired Air Force, my father-in-law, Ivan Ference, WWII veteran, various other family members including my Uncle Don and currently my nephew, Byron, who recently became a Ranger and is scheduled to be deployed again in May. I am thankful that they gave up so much to protect my rights...my right to be sharing my beliefs on this blog. The United States of America is not perfect, nor are her citizen's, but the beauty of the USA is not what she is, but what she can become as there exists the constant desire and willingness to work towards making her better.
Thank you to all veterans.
