They Gave Their Tomorrows

Remembering Our Veterans
November 11th is the day we set aside to remember the veterans who have fought for our freedom, wherever and whenever they have served. Many of them have struggles that we civilians cannot understand. Some of them would like to forget their past.
Sadly, many people today do forget the sacrifices these veterans have made. They never stop to think about why they have these freedoms to enjoy. Veteran's Day, for them, is just a chance to get a day off from work.
But it gets worse. There is a class of people who are opposed to the just wars America has been involved in. They seek to revise history, make Americans out to be the bad guys, and vilify the soldiers who fought for us. What they don't realize is that it's thanks to those who fought that they still have the freedom to say those things.
Folks, let's not be part of the problem. This Veteran's Day, stop and think about those who have given so much for you. Thank God for them and for your liberty. Pray for them. And if you see a veteran - or, for that matter, an active duty member - thank them for their service.
On This Day
On the night of November 10th, 1944, the 4th Infantry Division loaded up in trucks and were driven about 30 miles north of their current location to a new position. They arrived in the Hürtgen Forest early on the morning of November 11th.
During their time in Hürtgen, the 4th sustained about 100% casualties - it was the most brutal engagement they were involved in. Following their time in the "meat grinder", they were sent to Luxembourg to rest in early December.
We are on Amazon!
I've got some exciting news! We Gave Our Tomorrows (the ebook version) is available for preorder on Amazon now. Release date, as planned, is set for May 8th. The $5.50 price is my best guess because I don't know yet how long the book will end up being, and length affects price. 🫠 Not to worry, if you order now and I lower the price, you will be charged the lower price; on the other hand, if the price goes up, you'll only get charged $5.50. (At least this is how it works in the US - I think it's different for Amazon Germany and India as well.)
Happy Veteran's Day! 🫡
