Happy Veteran’s Day

I wish to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all of our veterans and to those brave men and women who continue to serve in our military.  We have several members of our own family that were in the service, including my grandfather, Sam Silverman, who served during WWII and my father-in-law, Sid Brooks (seen here with my husband on our wedding day), who was in the Army.   You both are in our memories and in our hearts. Thank you for your service.

Saluting Our Military

0

Recently I went to the Phoenix VA Hospital with my son to donate a copy of our book. We had the opportunity to meet with the assistant chaplain who will make our book available to the patients he serves. My father-in-law was a patient at the VA Hospital and received wonderful care in the Community Living Center in the Pallative Care Unit before he passed.  What a wonderful way to pay tribute to his memory and his service to our country. We are extremely grateful to all those who cared for my father-in-law and who continue to care for our veterans.

In light of the recent tragedy in Tennessee, I also wanted to take this opportunity to recognize the brave men and women who continue to serve in our military today. It is with a grateful and humble heart that I acknowledge their service to our country. My prayers go out to the families of the service men who were killed last week in Tennessee and I continue to pray for our military here and abroad.  A special blessing to all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation’s freedom.

 

Blessings,

Sheryl and Joe Brooks

For Our Military

Standing tall in the shadow of war,

you bravely walk with God where others fear to tread.

Leaving behind the comforts of home,

you sacrifice your life, so we may live instead.

How could words ever fully convey

the pain I feel inside for all you must endure?

Standing beside a grateful nation,

I’ll hold you in my heart and pray for your return.
