Honoring Veteran’s Day 2005
“[L]et us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us re-consecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.” — Dwight D. Eisenhower
We set aside Veterans Day to remember, to honor and to pay respect to our nation’s uniformed Patriots - American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coastguardsmen - who have, and continue to stand in harm’s way that we might live in peace.
It is with eternal gratitude that we remember those who have paid the ultimate price in service to our nation. We encourage all our readers to remember those Patriots and their families, and to pray daily for those who continue to serve today.
These are difficult times for military families, particularly in light of those who vigorously attempt undermine our national security, and demean military service. It is worth remembering these timeless words John Stuart Mill: “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.” – Federalist Patriot

I just released an artistamp to celebrate the 230th birthday of the USMC and it’s accompanied by a sample bookmark that provides a simple way to recognize a veteran or service member.
You can download the stamps and sample bookmark from
the Museum of Paper Blog
It might be something your children or grandchildren would like to do this week end, and then make presentations to veterans in the family or neigborhood, church, etc.
So many people to thank for what they do for us; so little time.
