Giving thanks for our Veterans...

Lord once again I say thank you for returning
my first born child from war.
Thank you for for watching over all of
our military and their families.
Please God, give me wisdom and endurance
to fight for justice on the home front
for our veterans.
I pray that our nation never forgets
the families that sacrificed all ...
and the men and women who carry
the war silently within
as they return to the home front.
