i remember

there are many who grieve today. grieve at the loss of a brother, sister, son or daughter...uncle, aunt, dad, mom. lives lost in war.

people who gave their lives for an ideal.

people who believed in what they were doing.

people who sacrificed the ultimate...their lives.

i remember them today.

this country was built on the blood and sacrifice of those who have fought in wars. war that defended our way of life. i can bitch and moan at the degridation of morality and faith becasue otehrs died to make it so.

for all the freedoms i enjoy were purchased on the death of men and women who gave.

what pisses me off the most is what makes us great. difference. we cannot expect to be heard unless we are willing to listen. we cannot expect to live free untill others are willing to die. we cannot realize safety until someone stands guard on the wall.

to all who gave, thanks. for all who remain in service, thanks. for you who are abroad and fighting while we back here complain...i am sorry. you are who we need to be. thanks for your sacrifice and your willingness.
