But fame is theirs - and future days On pillar'd brass shall tell their praise; Shall tell - when cold neglect is dead - "These for their country fought and bled." ~Philip Freneau (1752-1832)
To all the Veterans - past and present, human and animal - thank you for your sacrifice and courage. I honor you, and I salute you.
Please don't forget the Disabled American Veterans. Also, please check out the various organization that help military pets, such as Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pets, Foster Military Pets, and Military Working Dog Foundation.
Lord, bid war's trumpet cease; Fold the whole earth in peace. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes (1841-1935)
I couldn't have woofed it better myself, Mr. O.W. Holmes! "...the whole earth in peace" is what all on Earth should be striving to achieve. Live a life of kindness and goodness. Be gentle, considerate, and caring. Love. And smile, because it's contagious. And you don't need a vaccine! I'm just sayin'...

Great post! Thanks to all the Veterans!
Thank you, Suka, for your Veterans Day post and for visiting our site in commemoration of today. There is now a blog hop attached for Veterans Day, if you'd like to stop by and "hop along."
Hi there, Suka!
I am your newest RSS feed subscriber and I found you b/c you signed your name in my THANKFUL FUR 3 THURSDAY BLOG HOP! I thank you for adding the blog hop linky to your blog too b/c it helps to spread the word to everyone!
I love that you have a parrot as a best friend and I would love to see a picture of him as he follows you around the house! How cute to have a little friend like that!
Hey, if you tell me that you are a new follower (either RSS, email, or Google Friend Connect) I will feature your blog next Thursday! Would you like that? If so, please tell me if you want me to snatch a photo from your blog or if you want to email one to me, okay?
What wise words, Suka. Peace.
