The following is something of a collection of thoughts I have had through the years. It is often hard to express to those I come across but if you are a veteran please accept this from me, if you know a veteran please pass this along to them.
Thanks to the men and women who are so brave
Some for freedom their life they gave.
Others return but they're not whole
What they've seen or done has hurt their soul.
With some their wounds are in plain view
But others have those never seen by me or you.
There are those that went but did not fight
They enlisted and served because it's right.
They cooked, they healed, they typed, they fought
And be very grateful we really ought.
The servicemen and servicewomen have suffered through it
In place of us who cannot or will not do it.
They come in times of peace and war
Willing to fight for things worth fighting for.
To each and all who choose to serve
We say Thank You which is less than you deserve.

Each week my wonderful husband Bruce hosts Cool Beans - Coffee with the Councilman. Caribou North (across from Super Target) from
7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.every Thursday morning. Each week he sends out a reminder note. This is the note he sent out today which is touching and meaningful. Stop by - he buys the coffee, you talk about city issues.
