For complete story see www.heralddemocrat.comSpecial quotes from Gen. Tommy Franks Nov. 8 for “Salute to Service” at the Tommy Franks Leadership Institute and Museum, Hobart, Okla.
“… we as Americans have never done the best job we could have done, and we didn’t do what we should have done, when we should have said ‘welcome home’ to all those who served over there, a long time ago, in a place called Vietnam.”
“… young men and women serving a long way from home in Afghanistan and Iraq, not for the purpose of celebrating war but for the purpose of guaranteeing peace and freedom, and the ability for you and me … to be able to live in the land of the free because of the brave.”
“It’s time this time of year for us to recognize our veterans, recognize their families, recognize those who served, and raise our heads up and not be ashamed that we are the land of the free, home of the brave, and if you don’t believe that, just try to take it away from us.”

Joyce,
Thank you for your efforts for TR at the museum opening for the Veterans. The photos are wonderful and I know TR appreciated you all being there.
I thank God everyday for all military service men and women. Without them our freedom would be in peril.
Blessings always,
Sister V
