The head stone with the K9 dog laying beside it brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful thing to have the dogs and have them loved so much. Every once in awhile I see where a soldier has been granted to bring his dog back to the states with him. I watched last night until the wee hours all of the honors to our veterans in Washington outside of the Capitol. The rolling thunder passed down our Virginia highways going to DC all weekend. What a wonderful sight and sounds to be heard. I always stop a soldier and shake his hand no matter how young or old he is, just to let them know I appreciate them. My dad served and 3 brothers and they made it back home safe and sound. I appreciate what they are doing and I like so many more people fly my flag everyday and night to honor them. I am serving Hospice all day today as many of the workers took leave to be with their families. Every Day is a Gift. Blessings to all and remember our service men, women, and dogs every day.Dot/Mom/Cobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290433898412362561.post-71155486693644142222012-05-28T12:53:36.222-04:002012-05-28T12:53:36.222-04:00hellooooooooo.

It does seem<br />that somewhere along the the line, we have lost focus on the true purpose of the holiday.. Many people do not know the significance of the day. It is not about parties and big shopping sales and the marker of the first day of summer.. Thanks Doc for the important message and reminders..<br />I have my flag out, which is (believe it or not) against the rules in our condo association .<br />I have been thinking and reading alot , the stories and statistics which tell of the thousands of<br />troops over the decades who have served our country to protect our<br />Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Liberty we some times take for granted..<br />Let freedom ring, THANK YOU seems to be not enough to express my self<br />gratitude for all , past and present,<br />men, women, families who have and continue to serve our great USA.<br />Enjoy the day all, <br />be safe and happy...<br />hugging my angels..<br />sign me, A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290433898412362561.post-28711655535491396532012-05-28T12:03:08.650-04:002012-05-28T12:03:08.650-04:00Thank you Dr. Sherry for your message today and th...Thank you Dr. Sherry for your message today and the heart touching photos. I am in thought and prayers today for those who are still bravely serving in love and support to keep our flag of Freedom standing in this great country we live in. Thinking of my Father who served and fought in Korea and saw so much there he came home a changed man. He never forgot what he saw and left him in a deep depression the rest of his life. Thinking and praying for my brave Grandson who was recently in Afghanistan and now serving in the States. God Bless you and keep you safe and well and bring you home soon. I am thankful and grateful from my heart for those brave military heroes both the past who lost their lives and the present who are still serving. Thank you so much. <br /><br />I am thankful for those brave military dogs who served with honor - there were so many. One that comes to my mind is Sergeant Stubby (1916 or 1917 – March 16, 1926), was the most decorated war dog of World War I and the only dog to be promoted to sergeant through combat.<br /><br />Wishing each of you and very safe and happy Memorial day and spend time with family and friends remembering why we celebrate this day and counting your Blessings and freedom. When you see a military person remember to give them thanks. /Sandy♥fluffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375651410224358464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290433898412362561.post-82631011587982441482012-05-28T11:57:49.585-04:002012-05-28T11:57:49.585-04:00I am trying to control myself----but bottom line i...I am trying to control myself----but bottom line is, HONOR ALL EVERY DAY!

This day really is about sacrifices made by so many, for all of us who benefit. So today I am thankful for all who have served, for all who gave their lives to protect ours, for those who serve in the armed forces today, and for all the friends and families who support their service. <br />Until your bog doc, I guess I never thought too much about service dogs, although I know they make a valuable contribution, and the cost of training them is worth every dollar in the many ways they help people. It stuck me as I saw the picture of the serviceman grieving tow fallen dogs, and the lone dog at the headstone of what must have been his companion. So thank you to those who raise and train the service dogs, and bless their big hearts, loyalty and service too.<br />Pity the petty who must so rigidly define who we honor and who we remember and when. There are always some jerks somewhere. Hopefully no closer to me than absolutely necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
