I have several veterans in my family that I honor their memory on Veterans Day, but no one I ever knew in my family died while in the military

    One of my great great uncles, long before my time, a man I never met, went off to war and was never heard from again.  I remember my grandmother and her sister talking about him, in tears, saying that his parents waited year after year, hoping for a letter, a knock on the door... but he never came back. 

    Our family has many Veterans (some who died in action, most came home).  We honor them all, but "Great Uncle David", who went MIA while defending his Country, holds the most special place in our hearts.

My family comes from a long line of military people. Some came home and others did not. Giving thanks and feeling grateful to all who bravely stepped up and gave their all for the United States of America, including my cousin Randolph Edwin Graves who died in the Vietnam War and his father Robert Edwin Graves, MIA as a Prisoner of War in the Korean War. He was never brought home to a final resting place.

Today's group of over 340 million Americans didn't get to this point by accident. People I don't even know paved the way past, present and future. Forget them? Impossible to do. Every little Capri, reward and pleasure is owed to them. Thank you and count on me when it is my turn to do the same

I come from a long line of military men who proudly served our country. We have one nephew still serving.

Today, we express our gratitude to those who said good-bye to their families to set off to war, never to return. They gave so much for our country - for the many freedoms we often take for granted.

I will never forget!  I have many family members who served in the military, including my Dad.  I'm sure I've had many ancestors die in battle but I didn't know any of them personally.  I honor and thank every fallen soldier for the FREEdoms we enjoy today. I pray we don't give them away.

My uncle Johnny Wall was shot and died in Vietnam in 1968.  I don't have a lot of memories of him as I was very young.  I do recall going to their house to have dinner with the family a few days before he shipped out.  We went to the local fair and he won me a stuffed seal, I still have it.   I found his name on the wall in DC when I was there and I went to his local gold star dedication when our memorial was erected locally a few years ago.  I was certainly shocked at the number of gold star families we have locally. War is high cost.  Freedom is a great reward for that loss.  I don't take it for granted.
