Grateful Thanks

Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day

 6x8" watercolor on paper. NFS

This is truly the National Holiday

which effects us all. 

I am grateful for the freedom we enjoy,

but brought at such a cost. 

With great respect

I honor and thank the living military and 

 and give thanks to all those families 

who make the sacrifice and especially

those who have lost their loved ones.

Proudly a US citizen,

originally from England (a long time ago)

and have watched the 

ceremonies from London...a day ahead because 

of the time difference. It is called

Remembrance Day there and everyone 

wears a poppy. 

For Great Britain, it is 100 years ago

that World War 1 started.

A small but valiant island.

Helped to survive by a strong and 

loyal ally - the USA.
