Please visit Sally at Smiling Sally for Blue Monday. If you are in love with the color blue, don't miss a visit to Sally's blog today.
Thank you Sally for our Blue Monday fun.
We must honor our veterans and our troops.
We need to show more sympathy for these people
* They travel miles in the heat.
* They risk their lives crossing a border.
* They don't get paid enough wages.
* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.
* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day..
I'm talking about our troops!
Wouldn't it be great if we took the $360,000,000,000 (that's billion) we spend on illegals every year, and spend it on our troops!!!
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to˜The United States of America for any amount, up to and including his/her life.
In Rememberance
God Bless our Soldiers,
Past, present and in the future.
Blessings and love,
JEANNE
We must always honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for your freedom. Our country and each of us need to support their families, too.
Love to you dear friend.♥
