Wherever You Are: A Tribute to Soldiers Everywhere

Gareth Malone has made a name for himself taking groups of people and turning them into a choir. This time he’s taken a group of military wives whose husbands are all away in Afghanistan. Gareth looks about 16 yrs old but is actually in his mid-30s. He is Choir master for the London Symphony Orchestra, among other things. Proceeds from the album In My Dreams will go to The Military Wives Choirs Foundation.

My friend, Jo Stickley, herself a retired military nurse, shared this video with me. I thank her, and all our men and women who have ever served in the Armed Forces, for their service to their country.

As we celebrate Veterans Day here in the United States, who can you call or write to thank them for their military service?

My friend Karen R. Sanderson wrote a post recently called “God Bless Our Troops: Links to Help.” In it, she provides a wonderful list of organizations that support our troops. Find one and help out today.

    So beautiful and sincerely unforgettable. Thank you for sharing this moving video. I treasure the veterans and actively military in my own family, and all those who have carried the flag and continue to pay the price for my freedom.

    This is a beautiful video. Today, I am grateful for all Veterans. I am grateful for my son and so many of his friends, U.S. Air Force. I am grateful for my daughter-in-law, U.S. Air National Guard. I am grateful for my former H.S. Color Guard instructor, Michael, who served in Vietnam. I am grateful for Uncle Boyd, who served in WWII. And I am grateful for all the others, everywhere, in every country, who have served.

      Thank you, Karen, for your steady support and reminder of those who serve in our Armed Forces and their families. I am grateful to my father, Jim Herbert, who flew P-38s and P-51s in WWII and to all those before and after. We should never take our freedoms—or their cost—for granted.
