Today I lift up these men whom I loved, who have spent time serving their country. I think of so many others who have sacrificed to protect this country and our freedoms....not just those in the military...but everyday people engaging in many different heroic acts....sacrificing themselves for others without a thought.
But, today is Veteran's Day and so I especially think of these men in my life and all the members of the military who have served, or are serving and sacrificing so very much so that we can go about our every day life without a second thought as to the freedoms we enjoy in this country. I can't imagine the conditions that they must endure, the life that they must sometimes live, the loved ones they must often leave behind. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough to thank all of these people who have sacrificed so much.....for our country, for me. We owe the life that we live today to these brave individuals. Though it doesn't seem enough for such a gift......Thank you! You have not sacrificed in vain.
