Veterans Day 2025

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
‒ John Fitzgerald Kennedy

It is very easy to partake in public displays.
It is quite another when the day ends to reflect on those who still carry the memories of service, with quiet humility.

Dad, DH, DS. ❤️

Thanks for starting this thread @Cakers3! We have a lot of veterans and retired military personnel in our family, mostly Army and Air Force.

I always think of DH's uncle, whom he is named for, who is still officially MIA from WWII. His plane went down near the Philippines right before the end of WWII. They know where it is but can't get to it. The professor in charge of a group who searches for missing aircraft said if the funding goes through they might try again in 2026. We are hopeful.

Day is done

Gone the sun

From the lakes

From the hills

From the skies

All is well

Safely rest

God is nigh

Thank you to all of our veterans -- EVERY day!

Check out the video of one of the honors flights into Washington this morning!

What a surprise that plane load had. The looks on their faces said it all. An honors flight, indeed, for all.

@Puzzle Piece . Said perfectly. And yes I agree. My father and my husband were Veterans. God bless them and all Veterans past and present.
