Hello sweet friends. Today is Veterans Day, a day which is set aside to honor, pay respect, and be thankful for all the men and women who have served our country in war and peace.
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:12-13 ESV
I can’t let this day pass without remembering my favorite veteran, my sweet Daddy who was a veteran of the Korean War.
I have shared my Daddy’s story many times because we should never forget the sacrifices made by all those who have served and are serving. You can read it here!
Daddy was seriously wounded and later received the Korean Service Medal, a Purple Heart, and two Bronze Stars.
Once grandchildren came along, Daddy affectionately became known as Pawpaw to all the family and even friends. Pawpaw loved God, loved family, loved his community, his church, and his country. He stood for freedom, and sacrificed to preserve it for those of his time and for future generations. We honor the thousands who have done the same and are thankful for the thousands who currently serve and protect all of us!
