Thank You For Your Service.....

Did you remember what today is?  Today is Veteran's Day.  A day to be thankful and show thankfulness to the soldiers who have served and are currently serving our country.  I have found that I have many things to be thankful for, things that those soldiers past and present fought for and still fight for, here are just a few.

Wall of Stars at the World War II Memorial, Washington, D.C.

I am thankful that I have the freedom to worship God openly, without fear of death or retribution.

Korean War Memorial, Washington D.C. (one of the most moving memorials you will see)

I am thankful that they are willing to serve and give their lives in my place.

I am thankful that I live in a country that has so much, I have never wanted for food, or shelter, or clothing.

Remember their sacrifice.

Afghanistan and Iraq War

Remember also their families sacrifice.

Remember that "freedom is not free."  If you see a soldier, stop him, and thank him or her for their service.  You cannot believe how much this means to them.  To all Veterans, thank you for your sacrifice and service.
