http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Crobar/5692 Today is an important day.  It is a day we take time to appreciate those who have responded to their country's request to take up arms and defend it.  Many have given years of their lives for faithful dedication and many made the ultimate sacrifice.  For that we can never repay them.  It is those subsequent generations who will live free - that is the best gift, the entire reason they served. As a vet myself I say "Thank You" to all my fellow vets and currently serving military members.  We should never forget what you have done, are doing and will do for us and this country.  Your efforts, sacrifices, hard work, dedication and patriotism will never be forgotten.
