In Australia we have ANZAC Day, in the UK there is Rememberance Day and here in the US, there is Memorial Day. I don't think there are ever enough ways to thank the true and trusting men and women who challenge the World's traumas on our behalf.
I come from a Family well peppered with Colonels, Majors and Captains who have fought the good fight at various times over the decades and now we have a Son, stationed in Iraq for the last six months doing just the same thing.
Along with many others I know, we pray for their safety and return home with life, limb and mind intact.
Godspeed Ryan.
