Veteran's Day 11/11/11...


I wanted to share some interesting Veteran's Day story - so how about this one...

Our Kathy, finally after years of searching, found the man who was on the POW bracelet that she wore in high school and for years beyond. 
 

In Kathy's words...
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year, I just actually spoke to Col. Willis Forby, the POW of Viet Nam (whose bracelet I wore in high school) who was shot down and captured on September 20, 1965 and finally released on Feb 12th, 1973...after being a prisoner for 7 years and 5 months. He attributes his survival to his "great faith in God and the knowledge that my country would succeed in its mission after which I would be permitted to return." He told me to keep his bracelet as a reminder of all those lost in so many wars and to continue to pray for those serving now. Believe me, I was in tears.
