Today is a day of honor, for those who gave their lives, and those that served for our freedom.
Freedom is a word too often taken for granted. Any freedom that we have was bought at a high price. My dad, for example, served 40 months in Europe before coming home on furlough. While on his way home, the Bomb was dropped, so he ended up not going back. He and hundreds of thousands, including Del's uncles, Bennie and Ephraim, gave up months and years of their lives.
In more recent years, our son-in-law, Dana, served in Iraq and was seriously injured when a RPG hit the truck that he was driving. His co-driver stopping the bleeding and saved his life.
We've all heard the expression, "All gave some: some gave all." How true.
So we say Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to these people who served in the military:
Marvin Barkley, Paul Inden, Benny Tschetter, Ephraim Bertsch, Sherman Clark, Wallace Antijunti, Jon Heemeyer, Elmer Bertsch, Leroy Bertsch, Ewald Bertsch, Geoff Caron, Dana Bindert, Marv Heins--these are family members. But to all of you veterans, thank you!!!
Special thanks to Lieutenant Commander Casandra Koistinen USN, serving in Afghanistan. Take care Casandra!!
