11/11/10 Veterans Day
On this day, thoughts come to my mind that almost bring me to my knees weeping. Men and women, young and old, different races and from different backgrounds have fought ~and are fighting~ side-by-side for our country.
For Freedom
Justice
Peace
Love
Friends
and rights that we take
completely for granted every day.
Some day, we may not have the choice to wear jeans and a tee shirt to school or out in public. We might not be able to play the video games that we hold so unnecessarily dear to our hearts. We too often forget that while we sleep, people are fighting for us; they are lying their lives down so that we don't get killed for what we choose to do - or not to do.
The question I'd like to ask you is this:
How will you repay them for what they've selflessly given to you?

Thanks for reading; I hope this reaches your heart like it did mine!
