Happy Veteran's Day!
I thank God for the brave men & women who have served our country in both war & peace; two of them being my father & father-in-law. Thank you for fighting for our freedom, ensuring our safety, & proudly defending our flag. Thank you to your families who have made so many sacrifices as well. May the Lord bless all of our true American heroes!
Here's Andrew & a few of the other classes singing at the Veteran's Day program today. (You can only see his hair peeking out from behind... oh well.) That many kids singing their little hearts out for such an important reason makes me want to both smile & cry. It's beautiful.

One easy way to support our troops is to support their families. My friend Lisa's husband is deployed & is great about alerting others to ways we can help. She introduced me to Operation Appreciation where you can write letters to spouses, children, siblings, & parents of our armed forces thanking them for their sacrifice. They do all the leg-work, you just need to write the letters. I'm hoping to do it with our GodTeens. Check it out here: http://www.bluestarfam.org/Programs/Operation_Appreciation
God bless & protect our troops!
God bless America!
