Veterans Day

Thank You Veterans 

They rarely ever get recognized except this time of the year.  

Most of us sometimes are not even grateful for the freedoms that we have today and that we can enjoy today. It saddens me how we act as if our freedom doesn't come at a cost  and can act like spoiled brats with our freedom. Many people from other countries wish they had the freedom that we have here in the United States and are trying to get here. If any veteran reads this blog, (which I doubt will lol)  thank you for your service and for risking your life for our freedom.

This last Sunday our church hosted a veteran service which we honored all veterans from the Vietnam War all the way into the Iraq war. Despite the controversies from the wars, we were still grateful that they fought with purpose for this country.  I saw the faces of the veterans and you could see that they've gone through a lot. It is said that many of them come back with post war diseases and disabilities that did not allow them to live a life full of enjoyment after. Their minds are troubled and cannot sometimes even sleep at night especially for the 4th of July.

Imagine what the spouse has to go through? Dealing with the pain that their spouse will not return the same or worse, will not return back to their children. I have mad respect for veterans because of what they put themselves through for the national security of this country.

If you see a veteran, say thank you because you never know what they go through everyday. Who knows, maybe they come back with no house or are disabled and can't get a job. I hope we can appreciate these men and women who have given their lives for this country and for our freedoms.

Thank you veterans

May God bless you & God bless America
