Honoring Our Troops Past and Present

I just finished reading the Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson.

Excellent read, and I highly recommend it to any lover of history

and Winston Churchill.  I am an admitted Anglophile, and a 

great lover of our country as well.  This book is about the 

horrors endured by the British citizens, and Winston

Churchill's steadfast defense of his nation.  It is also about the

bond between our two nations and how our continued pursuit

for freedom is shared.  Without the strength and courage of our

US troops, we would all be living in a very different world.  A

world we would not like, devoid of the freedoms and 

opportunities we all enjoy.

Today we thank and honor all the courageous service men and

women both past and present who devote themselves to 

preserving our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of

happiness.

THANK YOU!

Love,

Susan and Oliver
