Veterans Day 2013

This posting is dedicated to those who have served and are now serving.

For me, it’s personal.

My Great Uncle. John Franklin Hayes
This is the grave of my great uncle. John Franklin Hayes – Served in Germany. Bronze Star and Purple Heart

People often ask me, why it is that I run this blog. I do it to protect what this man fought to preserve during World War II. My uncle Frank had his finger blown off, due to a grenade that exploded prematurely; they did reattach his finger, but it was never the same. He did go on to work in the textile industry in Dalton, Georgia. The fact that I never was able to see him again, before he passed; and that I was never able to tell him, that I had left Pentecostalism, and return to the Baptist faith —- are one of my life’s biggest regrets.

My God bless and keep our Veterans.

Now you all know why I switched sides politically. It is the left’s contempt for the Military that caused me to reconsider everything politically.

(H/T and thanks to Hotair.com for the reminder.)
