Honoring My Fellow Veterans

Post date November 11, 2025

It’s the 11TH day of the 11TH month – Veterans Day here in the U.S.A.

I was employed by the United States Air Force for almost 40 years – going back to when I first signed on the dotted line of the delayed enlistment program near the start of my senior year in high school in 1984. I was hesitant in joining the military way back then, but it all turned out just right, and it became my career – both military and civilian. I’m enjoying retirement now, as I receive my monthly pension at the start of each new month.

To my fellow Veterans – this is our day. From one Veteran to all of you – I thank you for serving your nation, so that we may be free indeed.

Veterans – Get the help that you need at VA.GOV.

The Day of Atonement

Then the LORD said to Moses – “Be careful to celebrate the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of that same month – nine days after the Festival of Trumpets. You must observe it as an official day for holy assembly – a day to deny yourselves, and present special gifts to the LORD. Do no work during that entire day because it is the Day of Atonement – when offerings of purification are made for you – making you right with the LORD your God. All who do not deny themselves that day will be cut off from God’s people. And I will destroy anyone among you who does any work on that day. You must not do any work at all ! This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation wherever you live. This will be a Sabbath day of complete rest for you, and on that day you must deny yourselves. This day of rest will begin at sundown on the ninth day of the month and extend until sundown on the tenth day.” (Leviticus 23:26-32 NLT)

It’s #LaborDay here in the U.S.A. (and also in Canada) – a day set aside to honor all working Americans / Canadians. If you work for a living – then this day is for you.

It’s also the unofficial end of Summer and the start of Fall; although, astronomically Fall is still 21 days away. (This year’s Autumnal Equinox occurs on September 22ND 2025 at 2:19 PM EDT.)

Enjoy this day off (for many of us), and get ready to go back to work tomorrow. (Not me. I’m retired now.)

#MusicMonday is taking the day off today. My Top 10 Hits will be presented tomorrow – Tuesday. And then on Wednesday – I’ll present My Top 10 Hits of the Summer Of 2025 !

On this 4TH Of July holiday we celebrate this great nation of ours – this free nation that we call The United States Of America. We are free today because of our Founding Fathers – great Americans like John Hancock, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. Let us never forget all of those great Americans who fought – and who continue to fight to this day – for the independence and the freedom that we continue to enjoy today.
