What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve --
is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made
payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and
including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that fact.

My prayer for you comes from my heart I know that it will reach you even being many miles apart
I pray for your safety and blessed return I hold you in my thoughts with deepest concern
Your bravery I stand proud to support Your missions there you never abandon or abort
Fear you may feel but refuse to show I care deeply for you and just wanted you to know
I can stand proud to face my day It’s because of you our children run and play
You are my hero and I can never repay So I hold you very close in my heart when I pray
I have no way of knowing if we will ever meet But just know your welcome at my table, where I hold you a seat
I shall remain strong for your sake And eternally grateful for the sacrifices that you continue to make
I couldn’t begin to imagine what you must see while being in such a distant land. Being mistreated and hated yet proudly you stand.
Your courage and commitment says a lot of who you are. I hope you realize that we are with you deep in your heart we are never really far.
My prayer for you is to remember me as I remember you I am a friend you may never see. But I want you to know that I am truly grateful that you are protecting me.
May God in Heaven Guide Guard and Protect you and keep you in His Light I pray for you daily and I pray for you tonight..
Dear Friend… I know you don’t know me but I just wanted to share with you a little something I wrote. I am a very proud supporter of our military men and women. I think of you often and I pray for you always. I wanted to take this time to THANK YOU for all that you have done and all that you continue to do. May God forever Bless You and Keep. My name is Joann Lancaster and I am A LOUD AND PROUD SUPPORTER…. I hope someday life will give us the opportunity to personally meet, if for some reason it’s not meant to be. Just remember what you mean to me….Always my love. .Joann
