Memorial Day

I know today seems to be overtaken by cook outs and mass drinking parties. And while I will be going to the same cookout held at my grandma's house every year since the beginning of time I still wanted to say something to the vets past and present.

Thank you

I know those two words don't seem to mean much and for everything that you risked, everything that you endured, everything that you have lost, has not gone unnoticed or forgotten. Those two words simply are not big enough to express our gratitude. When you're young you don't really comprehend the risk or sacrifice that comes along with being in the service. But the older I get the more I can't help but look at how valuable life is. And I am so thankful that you have served to protect mine and my families freedoms and right to live in a free country. You fought so that I could wake up in the morning, pick my daughter up out of her crib and not have to fear for what is to come that day.

Today is for you, thank you so much for risking everything you had for us and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
