Seeing the post thanking our military men and women is a wonderful and heart warming gesture to make. While reading the comments my mind went racing back in time and memories came rushing in. These momories are a mixed bag of fondness and sadness. I give thanks everyday for our men and women in unifrom. But there is also another group that I give a special thank you to every day also. This group is has stood by us and with us thru some terrible and rough times. They are our allies and have stood proud with us,so a special thank you from me to them, with warm regards and a thankful heart,I say thank you Canada , Australia, and New Zealand. There are other countries that support us and I thank them also ,but I know we have memebers here form these countries and wanted to say thank you.
