Please take a moment today to celebrate the men and women who placed their lives on the line to keep the rest of us free. Many people died in combat for us; many more were wounded both physically and emotionally. Families lost husbands, fathers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. Some families were broken forever while some grew stronger.
Our liberty has been fought for since the days of the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Our soldiers have fallen on foreign soil and sand helping to give this liberty, that we so many times take for granted, to others wishing to be free.
Today is a day to give thanks to those in the military who are no longer with us. But, we also need to give thanks to those who have been there for us in the past and are now retired or otherwise no longer active duty and, for those personnel who are still serving.
Our freedom comes with a cost that we all must bear. We have an obligation to support our military who through their commitment to OUR CONSTITUTION keep US free. Let’s not let them suffer at the hands of bureaucrats and those who don’t give a damn. Let them know that it is WE THE PEOPLE who appreciate their efforts and sacrifices for us and offer to them OUR respect and admiration. They deserve the best care and respect that this country can bestow on them. Let’s make sure that they get it. Honor the memory of our peacekeepers that have died for this country and honor and support those and their families still with us.
Sharon
