Dear Hero Veterans,
I will start this letter by saying , "Veterans are my heroes!"
Every since I was a little girl I have loved Veterans. I always knew there was something very special about y'all and now that I am grown I know what is special about y'all. Y'all have put your lives on the line for people like me and some of y'all did not see your families and were not there for the birth of your child. The reason you did this was so that we would be able to have our freedom. In my eyes y'all are my "Guardian Angels." I enjoy being with Veterans because I feel and know I am safe with y'all by my side.
I can feel and see the pain in your eyes and I just want y'all to know that I will do everything in my power to help your wounds heal. I honor Veterans because y'all need to realize y'all are heroes and that y'all fought for our country so that we may stay free.
Those that don't appreciate y'all and say mean things need to leave The United States ! If I had the power I would make them leave.
Last year during the month of April 2007 my husband told me we needed to stop for fuel. Just before we had gotten to the gas station I asked God if He still wanted me to continue honoring Veterans every month then I needed to know right now. I can honestly say when my husband drove up to the gas pump I looked over at the next car and there was a Veteran in his Army Uniform. I got out of the car and walked over to him . He was talking on his cell phone and he told the person just a minute and I told him thank you for his sacrifices to our country and for my freedom . He shook my hand and it was a very true handshake. My husband and him talked and they gave each other a hug.
I have learned a lot from Veterans. I have learned what is means to be loyal and what true friendship means. My husband gave me a second chance in life. God has really blessed me in more ways than one. I would like to say from the bottom of my heart, " I really love y'all !" Thank you for being my "Guardian Angels."
Love,
Marnie Mowles

"Many people who have been in contact with asbestos include Navy shipyard workers, other military branches, and even outside civilian workers employed on or off shore in different command posts. Research shows that many of these jobs exposed workers to asbestos. These include machinery repairmen, machinists, and boiler room workers. Since mesothelioma and similar lung diseases are triggered later in life, veterans who were involved in the military between the 1940's and 1970's are those that are at an increased risk."
