Happy Memorial Day Weekend 2012, May 25-27th.
It is because of your sacrifice that our freedom to live a life far from war, a life of peace and the pursuit of happiness, is a reality. We honor the service that many brave men and woman still make even in this day and age of uber partisan bickering and wide gulfs between parties. Even so, the brave soldier does as he is ordered, and makes sacrifices everyday, putting themselves in harms way, that we civilians cannot even comprehend.
To those still serving in warzones like Iraq and Afghanistan, we pray for your safety, that you may return home and hold your head up high; proud in the silent duty you’ve displayed, knowing that you’re life experience is unmatched by most who will pass through this realm, and that you have given all you had to a cause greater than your own self interests.
I hope everyone has a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! Take a minute or two to bow your head, and say prayer for our active duty American soldiers, men and women abroad and at home, as well as for all who serve, including Policemen, Firemen, Coast Guard, pilots, bus drivers, and all those who put themselves in compromising or dangerous situations on a daily basis, for the service of others and the betterment of their community. Without them, our society would cease to function, and that is something often taken for granted.
