Today is Veteran's Day, while I was walking and enjoying my morning I was thinking about my Son being in the Air Force. The entire time he has served our Country has been a war time. Thankfully he has not been deployed in harms way, I am grateful for that, but I know many others that have. I have to admit I've always respected our military men and women but I never fully grasp the full impact of their service until my Son joined the military. This isn't a life for everyone. Families are often separated by many miles and even oceans, sometimes for years at a time. Sons, daughters, husbands, wives, mother's and father's are separated and loved ones placed in harms way. It is very hard on the families and on the person serving; much harder than anyone can know if they have not experienced it. So when you are going about your day today enjoying your freedom please remember all those that selflessly gave up their lives, gave up their time with families and friends, have left their homes and embarked on a journey that is often fraught with peril. We the people living in this Country owe them a sincere debt of gratitude. Thank you to all who have served and are serving today. May God truly bless you. The attached photo is of my military family and I am very proud of them.
