Celebrating Veterans’ Day
November 11, 2008
The older I get…the greater the impact has been on me of the value of the men and women who serve and have served our country.
Maybe this is because I have met so many military families and veterans over our many years as a Realtor, many of whom have entrusted us with their real estate business. We get to know them and hear their stories…we get to know their families.
Veterans live on our street, go to our church and teach our children. Their wisdom and integrity are undeniable. Their contribution to our society and culture are critical. I never quite know what to say to veterans on this day. “Thank you for serving our country” seems terribly inadequate for their service and sacrifice.
My nephew, Chris Saenz will be starting basic training in the Navy tomorrow. This native Californian will get to experience Chicago and the Great Lakes first hand! Please keep him in your prayers as well as those who are currently serving our country. To all the veterans and military families in our neighborhood…a great big thank you from The Roknich Family!
“Love where you live…live where you love!
It all begins at home!”
