War and Peace
By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! Again - it's that time of year. What happened to the time??
It flew by us. I take this time to say: Thanks to you readers for
standing by me - for faithfully reading this humble little column.
Thanks for your insight and input.
Thanks to my Editors. Thanks for reading and proof-reading what I
submit. Thanks for the layout you provide for the "final cut" that the
public reads.
It is all of us - together - that make this column what it is...a place
of hope and help.
And - thanks to our currently-serving military personnel. I extend my
hugs, prayers, and well-wishes to all of our allied-personnel.
Thanks to our surviving Veterans - for your service stateside and
abroad.
Thanks to the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I am
forever indebted to you and the above-mentioned military that give me
the freedom to write these columns.
