It is wonderful that we set aside ONE day of the year to REMEMBER and BE GRATEFUL...for all those women and men who literally GAVE THEIR ALL for each and every one of us, regardless of our faith, our color, our sexual orientation, our age, our whatever "brands" us.
When you stop and REALLY think about, REFLECT in quiet and seriousness, it thoroughly blows your mind...to "give one's life"....sounds familiar! Giving one's life for family, for friends....but for those you do not even know....GIVING YOUR ALL....leaving family, friends, country. Going through tough training...and then, and then, and then....
I watched veterans...and really old ones..."remembering"--being interviewed. It was tough to watch. the pain that was still evident, that was still there...deep within....even after YEARS.
Not only TODAY, Memorial Day, but each day ought we REMEMBER....in gratitude and prayer.
Join me!
