Give Thanks To Those That Make This Possible

Today is a special day that we should all take a moment to honor American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines that have served our county, and allowed us to have the freedoms we experience each day. The courage and commitment these veterans, past and present reflect perfectly the fundamental values of our great country. We can live without a lot of things, but we cannot live the lives we currently have without the American Military who sacrifice everything in their lives so we can have the freedom all deserve. I ask that you all take a minute today or some day soon to thank a veteran for their service. This year I think about my 90 year old grandfather who served in WW II, my 84 year old father-law who also served in WW II, my older brother who served years ago, my nephew who is getting ready to deploy again this time to Afghanistan, and my other older brother who just took a job contracting with the Army to bring his "Bomb Dog" to Afghanistan to help keep the soldiers safe. I can't help, but think about what they are doing or have done for us. Take a minute to thank those that made our wonderful lives possible. And remember we may be stressed, but our jobs are not putting us in a life and death situation every day.
