Veteran’s Day, 90 years ago today…

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008
90 years ago today at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month; The war to end all wars came to an end with the treaty of Versailles.  On the one year anniversary Woodrow Wilson said “To us in America, the reflections of armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

If someone has done military service, They earn the title “veteran,” and more; They earn our deep respect and admiration; That they are special no one can ignore. They sacrificed the comforts we enjoy; The list is long of all the things they gave; Our veterans are extraordinary people; They’re loyal, dedicated, true and brave. When terror and invasion were real threats, They showed us they could handle any storm. We owe our freedoms and our very lives To our veterans, who served in uniform. Our veterans should be celebrities; They’re exceptional; no other group compares. We’re grateful for the many things they’ve done; They’re always in our hearts and in our prayers. We owe our veterans support and friendship; Let no one ever question what they’re worth. These men and women served us and our country; Our veterans–the very best on earth. By Joanna Fuchs



To all who have served, both living and dead, I personally thank you.  You are the reason we just had an election to chose our next leader.  Thank you for giving us the freedoms we take for granted.  Today is a day for you, you deserve more than a day in my mind, everyday should be Veteran’s day.  

So to the Veteran’s in my life;
Grandpa Carl –WW2
Grandpa Don –WW2 Korea
Grandpa Jerome –WW2
My dad– Vietnam
My uncle Charlie –Vietnam
Cousin Jacob —  Iraq 

Thank you.

I am scared

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
I am scared that Obama will win, I am scared for the safety of Americans.  I am scared what will happen to our already struggling economy.  This could be the scariest election I have ever watched.

One year ago…

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008
One year ago today Aunt Nancy died.  It has been a hard year not just because of her death, but it seems like the world has been a sadder place without her.  A lot has happened in the last year including:

-I graduated
-I got a different job
-Pat and Denise split up
-I no longer have a relationship with my grandma

Those are the big ones, and it hurts because I know she would be there for me.  She always was there for me.  She was the first person I knew who had breast cancer and now within the next year I could lose another person close to me from it.  

I miss you aunt Nancy.  I can’t wait to see you again!
