As we sit down to our Thanksgiving meal, I’m still reflecting on Veterans Day and how thankful we are for all their courage and sacrifice, fighting to continuously preserve and protect our freedom and enabling us to celebrate family holidays such as this uniquely American one.<\/p>\n

Peter and I visited the relatively new Disabled Veterans Memorial<\/a> on Veterans Day. It’s official name is the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial, which accurately describes what the memorial is about but it’s a bit of a mouthful to say.<\/p>\n

We found it stately, streamlined and moving.<\/p>\n

\"Disabled<\/a>
Disabled Veterans Memorial a tribute to visit on Veterans Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Out of the image view above is the star at the end of the infinity pool with an endless flame coming out of the water. Unfortunately, it was surprisingly extinguished on this visit.<\/p>\n

\"VIsiting<\/a>
Silhouettes are also embedded in the semi-transparent glass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Along with silhouettes embedded in the semi-transparent glass panels, are very touching quotes by military vets, like Bob Dole and others, who describe the ongoing battle to live with disabilities long after wars are fought.<\/p>\n

This reality of war’s scars describe both physical as well as mental trauma, as every day struggles among our Vets.<\/p>\n

It was a beautiful day to visit just at dusk and before the Concert of Valor, which we viewed later on TV in the comfort of our home.<\/p>\n

We’ll be having Thanksgiving this year in New Orleans with our extended family, including Piers and his wife, Libby, who we welcome as a new addition to our family.<\/p>\n

Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
