From My #2 Son,
Brent Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90) of AL - 11/10/12
(sic) - "Veterans Day Tribute":
| Here is a tribute to all
veterans - but particularly those US Army vets of Operation Iraqi
Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. I have the utmost respect and
deepest gratitude to those who sacrificed. All who go on deployments
sacrifice for the citizens of the United States and even the world. Some
sacrifice more - but all who have, do, and will deploy, do indeed
sacrifice. And the price cannot be truly understood unless you have paid
the price yourself. Here is to our Veterans of the United States Armed
Forces.... I spent much of yesterday putting it together. I have
wanted to do this for a while, and I finally got around to it. After I
re-deployed I had a different perspective on how the world looks at the
US Armed Forces. Prior to deploying, this song didn't make me think of
service in the Army. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEU8H-OgNko
WOWZERONI!
What a great job you did on that video! Thanks, Brent - for everything!

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_Our_Fathers:
| "God of Our Fathers" is a 19th-century
American
Christian
hymn, written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the
United States Declaration of Independence in 1876.[1] The hymn was written by Daniel C. Roberts,[2] a priest in the Protestant Episcopal Church serving as vicar of St. Paul’s Church in Concord, New Hampshire. Roberts had served in the American Civil War in the 84th Ohio Infantry. In 1892, Roberts sent the hymn anonymously to the General Convention of the Episcopal Church to be considered by a group tasked with revising the Episcopal hymnal. If the group accepted his hymn, Roberts said he would send them his name. The commission approved it. The hymnal editor and organist George W. Warren were to choose a hymn for the celebration of the Centennial of the United States Constitution. They chose Roberts' lyrics, which were originally sung to a tune called "Russian Hymn." Warren wrote a new tune called "National Hymn."[2] |

From My
Daughter, Adrienne Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL / American School, IL) of NC
- 11/10/13 - "Thank You":

This is the grave
of
my maternal grandfather,
the late
Robert Buckley (John Marshall HS - '25)
(19 Oct 1907 - 25 Apr 1960).
He was the regimental surgeon for the 116th infantry
regiment of the 29th infantry division. He was in the first
wave on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944.http://www.dday-overlord.com/eng/robert_buckley.htm I am very proud to call him my grandfather. My paternal
grandfather,

I also have many friends and relatives who have served diligently and I thank them all for their great sacrifice. Thank you to all those who are or have served in military and to their families who have supported them as well. I especially want to thank my father, 
  Paul
Harty; my brothers:
Brent Harty and
Joseph Mansfield and their families, my aunt
Ramona Harty; my uncles:
Miles Nowitzky
(11
Jan 1932 - 07 May 2005);
Gordon Harty and
Gary Lafary; my cousin,
Kevin Harty, as well as all my friends who are in/have served
in the military.
I'm grateful for this wonderful country and the selfless sacrifices of all those who have gone before us. John 15:13 says that: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends". That was talking about the Savior's sacrifice for each of us, but on this day I think it is appropriate as the men and woman of this great country have sacrificed their lives, time, blood, limbs, hearing, etc. to protect and serve those around them. As it says in Mosiah 2:17, "when ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God".
OUTSTANDING!
Thank you, Adrienne!

From the
Incomparable
Charis Bean Duke
(Governor Thomas Johnson HS, MD - '85) of PA - 11/10/13:
| Anyone who thinks the
Star-Spangled Banner shouldn't be in the LDS hymn book needs to hear the
Fayetteville First Ward sing all three verses on Veteran's Day Sunday.
That's all!
SO TRUE!
Wasn't that magnificent?
Of course, the fact that you were "guesting" on the organ for that
intermediate hymn certainly contributed to that powerful feeling!
Thank you again, Charis!

From My Friend, Tammy, of NC - 11/11/13 - "Freedom Isn't Free":

God of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand
Lyrics by Daniel C. Roberts, 1876
Music,
"National Hymn", by George W. Warren,1892
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.
Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast,
Be Thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide and Stay,
Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.
From war’s alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
Thy true religion in our hearts increase,
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.
