A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to" The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life" . God Bless our Veterans, those who are presently serving, and God Bless America!

 

To Laugh Often and Much, To win the Respect of Intelligent People and the Affection of Children, To earn the Appreciation of  Honest Critics and Endure the Betrayal of False Friends, To appreciate Beauty, To Find the Best in Others, To Leave the World a Bit Better, Whether by a Healthy Child, A Garden Patch or a Redeemed Social Condition, To Know Even One Life has Breathed Easier Because You Have Lived.    This is to Have Succeeded.                                                                                                                          *** Ralph Waldo Emerson***
