Tribute to our Veterans.

Happy Veterans Day!

We enjoy a wealth of freedoms in our nation, and we must always remember that those freedoms have come at a high price. Too often are our veterans forgotten, then to be trotted out during a single day of celebration during the year. Many have died, been maimed, lost families and friends, carry emotional scars, and will never fully recover. I think it's important to remember our military throughout the year, as they are the ones fighting for us, not seeking reward, and simply want our respect and acceptance.

It's good to have a specific day of remembrance. It's important. It's vital. Yet, continue to teach those who don't understand, the importance of our military. Military life is hard, and then the return to civilian life is often more difficult. Also, it's not only the soldier who has it tough, because their families are in the same position. Pray for them. Laugh with them. Cry with them. But, most of all, remember them.
