I will remember those who have left us too soon for having willingly placed themselves in harms' way, so that we would not be.
I will call my family and friends who serve and TELL them how much I appreciate what they do, and remind them I love them very much.
I will visit with some families of my friends who serve now, and need some support and to remind them this country is grateful for their sacrifice.
I will say a prayer for ALL, that they come home soon, safe and sound.
I will NOT forget the only thing FREE and FREEDOM have in common is 4 letters. Freedom is not free, there has been, is, and always will be, a human cost to be free. And, to have true FREEDOM.
I will try to remember that not matter how inconvienient and difficult my life gets, I am still provided the ability to lay my head down each night, and rise each morning, in peace.
And I thank GOD for all those who give us that privilege and blessing.
There is a reason that so many use the phrase "The American Dream" . For many, what we have, is but a dream. Let us not forget what it takes to have that be a reality.
