Thank You, Veterans!

I had an uncle by marriage who fought in the Spanish-American War, and he also fought in World War I. By the time WWII came around, he was in his sixties. He went down to enlist, and they told him he was too old. Now the odds are Uncle Joe offered to fight everybody in the place, one at a time or all at once to prove he wasn't too old, but they turned him down anyway.

He came back to my grandfather's farm where they were stacking hay. He grabbed a pitchfork and started throwing furiously to the stacker. Someone said, "Slow up a little, Joe. We can't keep up with you. What do you think you're doin'?"

Uncle Joe replied, "I'm fightin' for my country."

Thank all of you for your service.

God bless you, and God bless America.
