A Memorial Day Thank You

Day 148
A Memorial Day Thank You

I would like to take this opportunity to remember and appreciate all of the soldiers who have fought for our freedom. The soldiers who have fallen and those forever changed by their war experiences. Those who chose to serve and those who were drafted but went willingly. Those retired and those newly enlisted. The families that support our troops from home and welcome them back.
I believe many of us take for granted the great country in which we live. A country who has fought along side other nations protecting rights and freedoms. A country who has come under attack more than once. A country that continues to be a target, standing firm and strong for the principles we hold dear.
So on this Memorial Day weekend, while enjoying family and friends, I hope you all take a moment to remember and appreciate. I'm thinking about Joe, WWII veteran, Jerry, Vietnam veteran, and Evan who is preparing to take the reins at the Air Force Academy.
