Memorial Day

{Korean War Memorial...Washington, D.C.}

Thank you to all the men and women...past, present, and future...who have been willing to sacrifice for our freedom. Thank you for sacrificing your health, your safety, your peace of mind, and time with your family for our country. Thank you for being willing to die for a nation full of folks you don't even know.

Thank you also to the family members who keep up the good fight at home.

I hope we can all take a moment today and say a prayer of thanks for those who keep our blessed America free.
