It seems like a lifetime ago now, but I once knew a soldier who wore a bracelet with his friends name engraved on it that was killed during one of his tours overseas. I’ve been lost in thought today over this holiday, that fallen soldier, and all of the others that this country has lost through the years.
Many folks don’t know this, but my BA is in Political Science with a concentration in American Government. Until recently, I have always had a fascination with politics. But the very fabric of this country, I have learned, goes FAR beyond the halls of government. It’s in its citizens, and those who wish that were. The very bravest of whom are in the military. I have a dear friend whose husband is in the service. She posted something on social media that was so eloquent, and thus so very her. 🙂To sum it up, it is that we all should have a grateful Memorial Day. I am grateful for the sacrifices of those that wear the uniform. May all of us make every day a Memorial Day for the sacrifices of those individuals and their families. ❤️
