On the 11th day of the 11th month, at the 11th hour, it is time to take a moment and thank those that served our country and those that continue to serve our country. Though taking just a moment doesn't seem like enough time to thank these men and women.
On a day like today, I think of those who sparked a revolution. Those who fought for emancipation. Those who stormed the beaches. Those who who took to the air. Those who trudged through the jungles. Those who stormed the desert. Those who sacrificed everything so that we can live in a country that promises us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those who made this a land of the free and a home of the brave. Those who made this the place that welcomes the huddle masses yearning to breathe free.
It is because of them, that we all live the lives that we do - free and able to effect change. To honor them, we should take more than just a moment to remember. But for today, this Veteran's Day, let us especially take this moment to say thank you.
Special thank you to my Grandpa Dean, my Uncle Riggy, my dad and my friend Jimmy for their service (and continued service). I am proud to the be the daughter, granddaughter and great niece of a veteran. I am proud to be the friend of a career navy man. God Bless You All. God Bless America.
