What a nice chance meeting for you, Richard looks like a nice guy. I agree that not enough people hear their stories. They should be honored in more ways than once a year at a meeting of their own kind.Ms. 50somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067538326362555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131207079991438741.post-13072814081269176502009-06-09T06:23:08.174-07:002009-06-09T06:23:08.174-07:00I am so glad I am not alone!

There are others out there who whole-heartedly recognize and thank our veterans for the sacrifices they have made. <br /><br />Occasionally my Toastmasters group says the Pledge of Allegiance. Next week when I am Toastmaster (for the first time!), I'll not only lead in the Pledge but I'll suggest that it become a regular part of the meeting.<br /><br />In addition, maybe I should take it to the next step and see if the schools will pair up vets and high school students. <br /><br />Thanks, all, for your feedback. It really lets me know that I've struck a nerve.Ms. 50somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067538326362555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131207079991438741.post-78961948075111709372009-06-08T23:08:49.709-07:002009-06-08T23:08:49.709-07:00Wonderful post.

They know how much I appreciate their service, and I hope your meeting Mr. Long leads to the sort of friendship I have been blessed to experience. They are wonderful people and have enriched my life.hucknjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784102453859884792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131207079991438741.post-4668748502660748522009-06-08T15:47:23.515-07:002009-06-08T15:47:23.515-07:00What an awesome post!
