Thank you to our military and their loved ones!

I just read a story about a fallen soldier that did two things; first it made me cry like a baby and second it made me want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart! Today is just a random Friday. It isn't Veteran's Day, Memorial Day or any other day set aside to honor those who serve or their families. It is important to thank these incredible people on days such as this. It is easy to see

the sacrifice that those in uniform make for us. What isn't easy is to see the toll their service takes on those who love and support them. The decision to serve or love someone who does is one fraught with personal sacrifice. Yes, lives are lost...but have you considered in how many ways? It is truly mind boggling if you take the time to remember just how many different ways the lives of these people can be forever changed...both the soldiers AND their families. So thank you to those who serve, those who have served and those who love them for ALL of the sacrifices you make. It is because of you that we all are afforded this life in this land of the free! May God bless and keep you!!!
