Memorial Day

My dad was in the Navy; my husband was in the Navy AND the Army. Both mine and Carl's families have a loooong history of military service. I'm proud of these men.

I am proud to live in a country where I am allowed to say what I want to say, pray where and how I want to, and live with all the bounty we have.

I don't understand the war. I don't like that we are there, and I want our servicemen home. BUT there are other generations that have been through what we are going through... and that brought about the country we live in today.

I'm NOT getting into a pro/con discussion on this war. That isn't what this is about.

All I am trying to say is thank you to all the men and women that have fought for our freedoms. Many have died and/or been wounded fighting for those freedoms; many made it out of service just fine. They ALL deserve to be remembered and honored.

Thank you...
