We took this picture at an old auto show. Check out the mounted guns, yet set in the park where you can relax and be free. We wouldn't have one without the other.
"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." Hebrews 12:1 (NAS)
"Do you see what this means--all those pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running --and never quit!" (MSG)
Father, may we run, defending our country and our faith. Thank you Veterans.

This is a wonderful picture and thoguht to keep in mind, Karen. Freedom comes with an expensive price tag, and we need to be grateful.
You won a prize on my blog! I will post it tomorrow. Congratulations, dear!
Love,
Jen
A wonderful post, Karen. I'll be chatting with my military man tonight and will indeed tell him how many wonderful tributes and expressions of thanks I've read today.
They are powerful pictures.
A few weeks ago we entered a restaurant and I held the door for a military man in uniform. He said "thanks," but I turned it around and said, "No, thank you." I wish I had more opportunity like that.
Karen, it's so great to meet you! What a great site you have--and such a beautiful family.
Happy Veterans Day to you too. I look forward to reading more of your writing!
Jeanette, ooooh, a prize? I'm going to check now! Thanks!!!
Hilary, yes, be sure and tell him thanks for me!
Janna, how sweet. Yes, I tend to "look" for things to do like that. Blessings**
Rebecca, thanks for following, I'm looking forward to getting to know you more. :)
Amen, thank God for the veterrans. Nice pictures.
a lovely post honoring all service men and woman. My Father was in the military for 29 years and my brother is currently in the Navy.
Big Hugs
P.S> you can find the corks for the bottle stoppers at Michaels or most craft supply stores.
Beautifully said, as usual, Karen! I'm very grateful for the men and women, like your son, who are willing to put their lives on the line for our freedoms!
Yeah, buy my snacks ...or else
