It is a day for celebration
for most of us.
We wave our flags
and grill our burgers
and wolf down our hot dogs.
We stand in line for dripping
ice cream cones
and we stare at the sky
in awe as fireworks
feed us a feast for our eyes.
We are free.
What a blessing to be free.
But that freedom comes at a cost.
A big cost.
I see it every day I work at the VA.
I see it every day I work at the VA.
I see the sacrifices made
by men and women
to ensure our freedom.
So, take just a moment today
and whisper a
THANK YOU
to all those that fought for us
on this, and foreign, land.
Wing a prayer up
for those families left behind
when their sons and daughters,
husbands and wives,
mothers and fathers
mothers and fathers
gave their lives for all of us.
Say a prayer, too,
for all those who served
and whose lives are forever altered.
Prayers, too, for those in
ACTIVE SERVICE.
I am so in debt to all of you!
I will leave you with one of my
very favorite photos
of SweetCheeks.
This was taken on our dock
about 5 years ago when the
fireworks were
bursting in the air over the bay.
THAT is
I hope I never lose that
WONDER & AWE
and I hope I never lose
my appreciation for this
GREAT COUNTRY.
GOD BLESS THE USA!
