God Bless You for Serving

By Dennis Brent Melby

Since the beginning of our great experience in self-governance we've relied on the firm support of the military to ensure our freedom. God bless our US Veterans who've served the people of this great country. Our experiment in democracy, and the republic we founded, has been helped, moved forward and defended by our men and women who served. Some gave so much, serving with honor and distinction. Yes, at times portions of the public didn't honor them, but we should have. They ALL pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the United States - the best in the world so far - and ours was the grand template for so many governments founded after ours.

Take note of the words of President Donald Trump in 2020 "Our veterans represent the best of America, and they deserve the best America can provide them. To recognize and respect the contributions our service men and women have made in defense of America, and to advance the cause of peace, the Congress has provided, as outlined in 5 U.S.C. 6103(a), that November 11th of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to recognize America’s veterans. These heroes served faithfully, humbly, and valiantly in times of war and peace, and they carried these admirable traits into the civilian workforce when their military service was fulfilled. Our precious liberty has survived and thrived because of generations of brave Americans — from every background and walk of life — who have answered the call to support and defend the United States. The gravity of their contribution is immeasurable and so is our debt to every single one of our Nation’s veterans."

God Bless America - and God Bless our Veterans.
