As we celebrate this holiday, remember those who served this country; some with their lives, some with their limbs, some with their minds, but all with honor and a belief in this country. Many who served are now without families, homes, and a respected place in our society. Find a veteran and thank them for their service. I don’t know about you, but I did not serve in the military, but I am so grateful for those who did and do. I salute them all!
And while I am remembering them, I am also praying for those who yet serve in foreign countries, away from family and loved ones. May God keep them safe and sane in the midst of chaos and always mindful of their surroundings, knowing in whom they can trust.
I appreciate your thoughtful and timely words on this important day.
I’m remembering “wounded warriors” myself today. Hoping to raise awareness and spark conversation, I posted this –

I’d love for you to stop by and leave a comment, if you feel so led.
