Remembering Our Veterans



This Veterans Day, remember that our Veterans have given so much. With very uncertain times approaching, it's important to honor what they sacrificed.

Around our home, there are many mementos of those who served. They protected our nation and brought freedom to North Africa, Italy, France (twice), Belgium, and whether they wanted it or not, my German cousins. From left to right is Frank Martin Gearhart's uniform (World War II -- liberation of North Africa and Italy), Frank Tobias Gearhart's uniform (liberation of France, Belgium and Germany), Abner Gearhart's helmet and gas mask (World War I -- liberation of France), and Edwin Satterfield's uniform (World War I -- liberation of France).

God bless them all, and I hope they enjoy a round together this Veteran's Day in the great VFW in the sky.

A toast to the GREATEST generation. May it never be forgotten that without the bravery of these men and women we would not enjoy the freedoms we have today.

God Bless them all.
