Remember Me: Veterans Day Thoughts

Hello Everyone,

This morning I came across this video as a tribute to our military personnel. I wanted to post it for you, because I believe it has value because it speaks of Love.

Remember Me Video



My experience with the military coming from a family of three girls was limited until 1966 when my cousin Dan Zegarac was killed stepping on a land mine in Vietnam just three weeks prior to his completing his tour. His funeral was closed casket and with full military honors. If you've never experienced a military funeral, no words can explain how heart-wrenching the experience is. He was 19 years old.

My father was a B-17 pilot in WWII. He flew 32 mission from Framlingham, England over Germany, He flew two missions dropping food to the starving Dutch in Operation Chowhound, and his last two missions were liberating French POW's out of Austria back to France. He spoke little of his war experience.

My son is currently a Navy Pilot and has been to the Middle East twice, so far. Recently he has been detached from his flight squadron at NAS North Island where he was a helicopter pilot and instructor and is now attached to the USS Boxer at 32nd. St. The Boxer is in the yards for repairs and will be deployed next July.

Along the way I have known other military families. I have watched fathers and sons be deployed and absent for long, long stretches of time. I have seen how these families cope and manage. They learn to love over long distances and large stretches of time. They learn that Love is the only thing that matters. They learn that the time we have together is right now and to make the most of it.

Recently I had the opportunity to contribute as an author to a book, Heart of A Military Woman, compiled and edited by Sheryl Roush and Eldonna Lewis Fernandez which is being released December 1, 2009. If you'd like to purchase it, click on the title. I contributed a prayer. It goes like this:

My Prayer

Dear Universe, All That Is, Source, God, Angels, Guides and Masters,

Help me remember that my son is a complete Godkit with his very own personal connection to Source.

Help me remember that he has his very own Internal Guidance System which he knows how to follow naturally.

Help me remember that he is the sole Creator of his Life; that Source is responding to his desire for his safety, effectiveness, service and a long, healthy life with a dream of children of his own.

Help me remember that everything is within God, even war.

Help me to remember that All is Well and that Well Being Is all that is Real

Help me to remember that my job is to stay in Well Being myself; and this is how I can best serve and support him.

Help me to remember that there is nothing to fear; and nothing to worry about, ever.

Help me to hold the Space of Well Being so that others may find it, too.

Help me to envision him only as safe, happy and productive, being the beautiful Light Being he is even on deployment. Maybe, especially there.

Help me to feel the bond of love that I have with him and send nothing but more Love over the airwaves via my heart and my thoughts.

Help me to send Love to everyone, including those we are “at war” with.

Help me remember that there is no death, but only this eternal adventure of Life.

Help me thus to be a Light in the World by assisting our collective evolution into Oneness, the Christed Consciousness, where there is no separation and at last we are living Heaven on Earth

Thanks All, Judd’s Mom


While I still envision a world where we don't need a military at all, I have learned to love and support these angels who have served and who do serve today. I appreciate you, bless you and love you beyond measure.


Thanks for reading!
