With malice towards none;
With charity for all;
With firmness in the right,
As God gives us to see the right,
Let us strive on to finish
The work we are in;
To bind up the nation's wounds;
To care for him who shall have
Borne the battle,
And for his widow,
And his orphan -
To do all which may achieve and
Cherish a just and lasting peace
Among ourselves,
And with all nations.
~ President Abraham Lincoln
From his second Inaugural Address
March 4, 1865

YES! Happy Veterans day to all!
Sweet tribute! Please drop over to my blog I have something for you. We are so blessed in our country and we have had so many dedicated people to fight for our freedoms.
Pat,
Thanks for the wonderful tribute to our Veterans, my Dad is a retired Navy man. He was always involved in the VFW, American Legion, putting flags on soldiers graves on Memorial Day--a very patriotic man.
