This is a re-do from last year, but it holds so much meaning for me that I could not help but add a little to it and re-post it.

The valor and sacrifice of all Veterans can never be honored enough. I am so very proud of every one of you, and I pray daily for those of you currently serving. I hope you will accept my humble thanks.

Happy Veterans’ Day.

  1. Happy Veteran’s Day Hallee.

    Thank you to your family for their military service.

    And Thank YOU for supporting them through their service to our country.

    You are an amazing daughter, wife, and mother – and they couldn’t do their job without you!

    Warmly,
    Ann Marie

  2. Wow. That’s quite a family heritage. You have a lot to be proud of and we all have a lot to be thankful for.

  3. A beautiful history of service to this country. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Hallee, Gregg, Kaylee, Scott, Jon}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

  4. Not being from a military family, I cannot personally relate to the sacrifice it must take. However, I can only imagine the pride that you must feel for your family members. Looking at your photos made ME proud and I don’t even know your loved ones! Thank you Hallee and family for your service to our country. I am in awe at what you do.

  5. What a wonderful history of service and how fortunate to have all of those photos! Happy Veterans Day to you and your family; thank you for stopping by my blog. :)
