Posted in Uncategorized on November 20, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Several years ago Gerbsman Partners posted the photo “Keeping God’s Acre”; you may
recall the photo of the eagle on the tombstone at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. The
photo was posted to honor our Fallen Warriors during the Memorial Day holiday.
Gerbsman Partners stated that the photo was taken on a June morning. Recently, the
copyright holder, Jo “Blue” Edwards-Johns of Kansas, reached out and shared that the
photo was actually taken during the spring of 2011. we apologize for any confusion this
may have caused. Gerbsman Partners still believes that the photo should become an
official graphic for Memorial Day, 4th of July and I or Veterans Day given the powerful
imagery it evokes.

Veterans Day ­ 2024 ­ With Respect and Honor to those who Serve- What are YOU doing to HELP?

  Veterans Day 2024 What are YOU doing to HELP?
As we begin Veterans Day/Week 2024, we say “Thank You” to the men and woman of our armed services and suggest that it is time for all to “step up” and find ways to support our Veterans. To often we say “thank you for your service” and then do nothing more. Please think about supporting various Veterans groups with donations, food, clothing and moral support. The have “Earned” it and we “Owe” it to them. 

In the late summer of 1967, I was on my way back to Basic Training at Fort Dix, N.J. I was in New York City and an older couple came up to me and said “Thank You” for serving and then gave me $ 20 to enjoy a dinner on them. The gentleman said he served in the Korean War and understands and appreciates what men and woman in uniform go through. I said thank you, enjoyed a great dinner and to this day, remember their kind gesture.On this Veterans Day/Week, our family will support the Wounded Warriors program. 

On 11/11/24, I will also continue to remember that couple and honor them by buying dinner for soldiers in uniform. I will ask them to do the same thing, 5, 10, 20 and 40 years later.

May God Bless our troops and provide our leaders with the courage and strength to do what is Right and what is Just.Please always remember – FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

What are YOU doing to HELP?

And to the memory of my father, Sgt. George Gerbsman, my uncles Ben Gerbsman and Bob Chapnick who served in the Navy and Cpt. Gilbert Falk, all WW11 veterans. 

With HONOR AND RESPECT”
