Veterans Day 2009

For my Dad, Chaplain (COL) Jim Thompson, USA,  Ret. and all who have ever served.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.

In war, there are no unwounded soldiers.  – José Narosky

I think there is one higher office than president and I would call that patriot.  – Gary Hart

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms.  It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.  – G.K. Chesterton

America’s veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world.  – John Doolittle

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. –Elmer Davis

Glad to have served. The chaplains I met in the USAF were some of the kindest, hardest working, and most generous people I've ever had the good fortune to encounter. I have a story for you one day...
