Thank you is just not enough. I am so tearfully grateful for all those that have given to this beautiful country. They are some of the most amazing men and women. The sacrifices made are immeasurable. Some have given time, some have given limbs and some have given all. It is astronomical to even begin to think of all the tears and heartaches that have drenched our country’s flag. I am extremely sad today for those families that are broken, battered and bruised. Those families separated, scared and succumbed. I hate that some are without their loved ones today, I wish that could be changed. But it can’t and I want those left behind, those left to pick up the pieces or those left with the scars to know that I am bursting with pride knowing that I am a sister to those heroes. I am honored with the knowledge that these great men and women love this country and its people enough, to fight for and die for us. Our freedom is not free. There is an extremely high price. It is paid daily by this country’s bravest and finest. Please take the time today and everyday to thank our Service men and women. Ask if there is ANYTHING that you could do for THEM. They do so much for us. The greatest among us are those that serve. I Salute you all today and Everyday!

“Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”(Mark 10:43-45)
