ShareVeterans Day And Our Military
Posted by Bob Evans on Nov 11, 2009 01:30 PM
Today on Veterans Day, we would all do well to remember, thank, and pray for the courageous and selfless men and women of the United States military who put themselves in harm's way so the rest of us don't have to.
The Census Bureau says that as of 2007, there were 23.6 million in the U.S. That includes 2.9 million from World War II; 3 million from the Korean War; 7.9 million from Vietnam; 5 million from the Gulf War; and 6.1 million who served during peacetime.
God bless each of them and their families, and may they know they have the full gratitude of everyone in this country and in many other countries around the world.
