Memorial Day 2014. Thank you, Soldier.

This weekend is Memorial Day. Its a holiday full of fun and relaxation and activities, but it is first a remembrance of the ultimate sacrifice our fallen military heroes have made for our freedom. I have been to just a couple of funerals. It is hard to imagine how they can accept that possibility, but they do. Maybe without thinking about it alot, but they do. We have a volunteer military, so no one is forcing them to take on this challenge. Without this, USA would not exist. The first casualty was long ago in the Revolution, and the most recent ones were this month. 3 as of today. Freedom isn't free. We hear that alot, but we also live the benefits of it every day. Today is a day to honor, remember, our heroes, and pray for their families. America is an idea, and it is worth fighting for. We can and do make a difference, but not without a cost. Keep that in mind as you enjoy the long weekend. Hapy Memorial Day!!!
