Happy Veteran's Day

Thank you all who have served our country ~ to give us freedom.
Our family appreciates Alden, Richard, Grandpa Staley (Ray), Roland Brooks (Richard's Dad). Thank you for protecting us ~ for giving us the freedoms we have here in our country.
We salute you.
Today was a special day for Alden. He was honored by Rebekah (grandaughter) and her school. Rebekah had a day of celebration at her school for the veterans. She wrote Alden a wonderful note. We ate lunch with Rebekah at her school and she hand delivered this note to him.
So very special.

Papa and Rebekah

She writes: Dear Papa, I love you. Thank you for serving in the military. You were so lucky to be in the military. I like you as a Papa. I love that you were mommy's dad. We are thankful that you help keep our country safe. Love you very much. See you soon. Love, Rebekah

Joshua drew this picture and wrote:

God created the heaven and earth. In the beginning, God created the heaven and earth.

Alden and I are so proud of our grandchildren (and of course their parents!).

We are blessed.
