Welcome to the Americhicks WWII Project podcast.
Kim Monson and Molly Vogt are your hosts.
America just recognized its military veterans during Veterans Day.
America is unique in our recognition of our Veterans.
It is only fitting that we recognize these men and women who were and are willing to dedicate their lives to standing against tyranny and evil.
You'll be Grateful that you took the time to stop and listen to the stories of Beau Maier, Grant Rogers, Matt Vance, George Brauchler and Joe Lockard.
Thank you Veterans.
We thank you.
We honor you.
We love you and we are eternally grateful to you.
Dear Veteran:
I'm writing to say "Thank You" and,
through me, there are
thousands of children speaking to thousands of Veterans.
Like us, you were young and carefree, but
when you were only twenty years old, Liberty called-called you, to say:
"I'm dying. Come and save me!"
And you arose, full of courage and zeal, to answer that call.
You underwent training day after day, for the "D" Day and
one day in June, you arrived by air and sea.
And you fought with the heart and soul of a free man,
so that we, too, might be free.
You saw your fellows fall on our beaches and in our fields and,
in spite of your grief and your injuries,
you stayed on and fought side-by-side with us.
And so, dear Veteran, I want to tell you,
regarding those dear to you who sacrificed their youth and
are now resting in peace, the sleep of the just, that,
WE ARE THE CHILDREN THEY NEVER HAD.
And to you, dear Veteran,
who offered your most promising years for this our land, I say to you,
WE ARE YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY,
who want to say to you today, a heartfelt, "MERCI!"
~Jean Goujon~
