A friend posted a picture on facebook. It's Friday so of course I'm wearing red! Was the caption. Her husband is overseas. Serving his Country. Missing his wife.
This Monday is Memorial Day. As many enjoy an extended weekend, a BBQ, a family gathering, I remember those that served our country to allow us such leisures. Such Freedom. Cemeteries dotted with American Flags. Families with oceans between them. My friends, proudly serving.
The same Patriotism and Service to Country can be seen in 'local heroes' around you like the Police and Firemen.
Take the time to thank a Veteran. Soldier. Policeman. Fireman. These are the people who make the sacrifices to uphold the Freedoms we hold so dear and keep us safe at home. All gave some. Some gave all.
Thank You.
