Thank you for your service….

 


Our Location:

Road Runner BLM, Quartzsite, Arizona 






Remembrance Day/ Veterans Day, to all that serve, have served and will serve, this day is a reminder to all of the sacrifices you make, have made and will make. It is but a few hours out of the year given in your honour but this day is filled with dignity, love and pride. It is a way of insuring that we never forgot those who have died, those that cope with injuries and losses that we can never imagine. It is to honour those that have no families left to remember them. It is a time to reflect on the fruits of your sacrifices, the freedom, the choices and the liberties you provide for us. We are forever in your debt, and so into this one day we pour all of our love and pride, to honour you and remember you! We all choose to remember you in our own ways, some with pomp and ceremony, some with family gatherings, and some quietly on our own, but no matter how we choose to show this honour and respect, we do honour, respect, miss and love you. 


It is not that we only remember, or think of you on this one, for that is far from the truth, you are in our hearts and thoughts every day but is the one day a year when we all join as one to show you that we appreciate, honour, value and remember all that you do, have done and will do for us.


Thank you for your service.

  3. As I tell people who thank me for my service: Don't thank me. Just be someone who is worth fighting and maybe dying for. That's who we were there for.
