God Bless Our Troops

Lt. Col. Gregory Gadson, former Army football player

While we all may differ on politics, religion, ethics, business, education…whatever, there is no denying that we need to honor the men and women who proudly serve our country and protect our freedom.

Visit www.missionserve.org to find a Veterans Day event in your neighborhood, and keep visiting the site after today to do your part in supporting our troops.

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.” – Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, USMC

Wednesday’s are weird…
