Security, safety, comfort: all situations we enjoy here in America. Freedom, opportunities, a better quality of life, all come with being an American. Even with the current economic problems, we still enjoy our way of life without too much interference. Our day to day lives are as a rule safe from outside harm.
Today we honor the veterans who fought to make that possible for all of us. It is right for us to do so - it is important that we never take for granted their sacrifices and those of their families. No one likes war, no one wants to leave home and family to defend our country. And yet, men and women are constantly called, drawn or driven to do just that.
Today, I want to take time to say "thank you." Thank you for going. Thank you moms and dads, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, grandmas and granddaddys for letting go.
God bless you and keep you in His hand and may His mercies surround each of you today - your day.
