Veterans Day 11/11/2017

Good Morning,

I am getting this day started with a hot cup of Door County White Chocolate Cinnamon Dolce Coffee. The temperature outside is getting colder and we are preparing for the freezing weather that is on our door step. I just placed my order for some holiday coffee flavors from the Door County Coffee Company. Look out holidays here I come!

 

Today in America we honor our veterans. For me the veteran closest to my heart is that United States Marine I call Dad. This old warrior always saluted the flag, said he would be ready to fight again, and faithfully served at every funeral for the veterans who passed on in his area. I guess he never really stopped serving.

Dad liked a good steak with fried potatoes, doesn't mind Spam, and enjoys his coffee. Until he  stopped hunting, always shot his deer with one shot, right in the neck. He believed that if you are able, you should work. He also believed in sharing with those who can't work. That's our veteran.

But as with all veterans that I know, they don't want much from those they fought for. You might not even know a veteran but they all called you FRIEND. I guess that is what they desire most and that is to be acknowledged as "Friend". They all laid it on the line for us. Say thanks today and consider them your best friends.

John 15:13King James Version (KJV)
¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

God bless our veterans.

Marty
