They were old and young and ages in between…our Veterans.
It’s a dreary cold day here in northern Ohio. However, in spite of
the temperature on this Veterans Day, a small group of people (waaaay
too small to my way of thinking) gathered at our Veterans Memorial to
honor all those who have served.
As I stood there listening to the speakers (all brief in
consideration of the cold and the age of some of the Vets attending) I
looked at the faces. I wondered about the stories that could be told.
I stood with a woman I work with. I know part of her story. 4 sons.
Army, Air Force, Navy, local Firefighter. One recently returned from
15 months in Afghanistan and one currently deployed in the Gulf.
God bless them and all their brothers and sisters in arms.
