On this Memorial Day, it just felt like it was time to take a moment and recognize those brave souls who have served in our military here at home and in our armed forces around the world. May God Bless you and your families. It breaks my heart to see the news stories of how many soldiers we have lost to war, and how their loved ones and families struggle to survive. Even worse, how our own government falls short to care and provide for our veterans.
It is heart warming to read stories like this, about non-profit groups who continue to push for better care for our veterans. CNN story about Rolling Thunder goes to Washington.
I have several family members and friends who I would like to pay tribute to. I don’t know exactly what all their military service involved, but I just want to acknowledge their hard work, dedication, and most of all, personal sacrifice, as they put their country first, and themselves and their families second.
My father Ken who served in the Army in the Korean war.
My step-dad Richard who served in the Army in the Vietnam war.
My uncle Bill who served in the Air Force.
My cousin Billy who served in the Navy.
My friend Ron who served and survived the Vietnam war.
I love you guys. Thank You for serving our country and protecting our freedoms. May God Bless you, your families, and keep us all safe in this increasingly dangerous world we live in.
