On this Memorial Day, I realized I come from a family of veterans. My maternal grandfather, my father, my brother and I all served in the military. Thankfully none of us paid the ultimate sacrifice for our service.
The military is a family. We brother's in arms, feel the loss of each member we lose during military operations. It takes a toll. But it re-enforces the price of the freedom we enjoy today. Despite what one may think of the reasons we send our men and women off to war, we must remember it takes a special spirit to sign up and know that each day you may be asked to give your life for others.
So please on this memorial day, take time to remember the fallen, and give your favorite veteran a hug. Its the least you can do.
Lovely post, and may the memory never fade.
