Thursday – A Little Personal – Veterans Day 2021

November 11, 2021 · by John W. Howell · in A Little Personal · 94 Comments

“It is a beautiful flag. We should remind everyone that today is the day to remember all those who have served our country in the armed services.”

“Yes, Twiggy and to also remember those who served but are now across the rainbow bridge.”

“I think we owe them a lot, Lucy.”

“We do Little One and mostly we owe them our thoughts and thanks for protecting our freedoms.”

“You think a message coming from a couple of dogs is okay?”

“I think they will like it.”

Thanks John, for extending Free Speech rights to Twiggy and Lucy. One would think their love of sweet liberty would be shared by 99.999% of the 7.9 billion humans, worldwide. Of course, that only being idealistic thinking, that necessitates our remaining realistic; to, in turn offer up our undying gratitude to the selfless, courageous men and women who we rely on to preserve, protect and defend our cherished freedoms and pursuit / attainment of the American Dream.
