Dear Blinders,
Today is Veterans Day, which honors all the people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Veterans Day marks the anniversary of the end of World War I, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The name of the holiday was changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954 in order to honor all the veterans of all the wars.
If you know a Veteran, call them today. Knock on their door. Ask them to tell you a story about their time in service. Thank them for their courage.
We salute our veterans!
Love, BG and Ace and the Blind Gossip Team

In the UK, today is called ‘Remberance Day’. At 11:00 – without fail – the nation observes a 2 minutes silence. It’s such a humbiling gesture and is the one time of year we reflect WW2. I just hope those that sacrificed so much for us… aren’t disappointed in what we’ve become… and the fight was worth it all.

WW1 as well. Which is where the poppies come from (McCrae’s In Flanders Fields)
Grande Queso says
Thank you Veterans and God Bless You!
And for all those single girls out there… go out and kiss a cute soldier tonight! Make his day! 🙂 lol
TeacherKat says
A heartfelt thank you to all that have served. We owe you so much more than is given to you.
fsomma says
What a lovely sentiment. I couldn’t have said it any better 🙂

To all our self-sacrificial heroes that have defended our great country, and still choose to do so everyday. May God bless and keep you all every step taken, anywhere. Mere “thank yous” always seem inadequate.

As the proud daughter and grandaughter of veterans, I have nothing but the greatest respect and gratitude for our veterans who helped defend our nation. Happy Veterans Day with my eternal thanks!
mommagoosed says

Althekitty says
I’m in the Uk and I have a poppy bracelet and a poppy badge. It’s a big thank you, it’s a massive thank you, it’s a heartfelt thank you. From the soldiers that have gone before, to the soldiers now. I don’t always agree with the wars but I always support our military and their families sacrifice for us. Our country owes a huge amount to the men and women who died for us and the families left behind to pick up the pieces.

Yes brave warriors….THANK YOU for your selfless service and sacrifices for our country and freedom.
