WE GIVE THANKS TO OUR VETERANS

“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.” – Abraham Lincoln

We are proud of those sons and daughters that we know by name and those we know by heart.They are all our children. There are no words to explain the depth of gratitude we owe these brave men and women and their families.

I am proud to say that my son, Sgt. Joe Reinart is a veteran. My Dad, Joseph Christopher Vayo was a veteran. Thank you to all who have served and for your many sacrifices. We are so proud of your commitment to us. We love you more than you know.

Words are Never Enough

Veterans Day gives us the chance to say thank you. My dear friend, Mary Ryan, (children’s author) is the proud mother of CMDR James Barry Ryan. Mary told this story:

After the retirement ceremony for our son CMDR James Barry Ryan, USN Ret., the captain who had emceed the program made it a point to tell me how much he admired our son. He especially mentioned how patient and helpful Barry was to the entire staff. “He doesn’t show people how he loves God,” the captain said. “He shows God how he loves people.” There have been many times we’ve been proud of Barry, but that has to rank right up there near the top.

I just received news that I won second place with my chapter, “Boots to Ground” in Love You More Than You Know. The category in the 2010 Communications Contest was for a chapter/essay in a nonfiction book.  Awards will be presented at a banquet in Chicago during the NFPW Conference in August. I am doing the  “happy dance”.
