BEFORE YOU GO — THANK YOU

Filed Under Tears of a Warrior, Veterans 

old-soldier1 It came in an e-mail this morning.  I hadn’t seen it before, which made it all that more special.

 

Often we have written and spoken about the need to thank our past and current military veterans and families for their sacrifice and service. Their selflessness has offered the rest of us a comfortable and safe way of life that many people in other countries have never experienced.  Just listening to the news the last few weeks regarding events in Egypt, Libya, even Morocco have left us even more aware and grateful for the many freedoms and blessings we have as Americans.

 

            To all veterans who have protected our freedoms, we thank you!  Thank you again for your dedication to Freedom. Thank You for your service to our country and its people, many who sometimes may seem to forget that while you were in a foreign land fighting, they were home enjoying the comforts of their daily lives.

 

In defense of the average person, I believe it is not because they don’t care; it is more that you did such an amazing job of protecting our rights and you did it so quietly with humbled humility that few seemed to notice. Yet, for many, gratitude is present deep in the heart if not consciously in the mind.

 

Therefore, we thought our readers might enjoy this small tribute that touched our hearts and reminded us again how indebted we are to military service.

 

If you know of someone who has served, make that effort now to say Thank You. 

 

Tomorrow may be too late, so do it “Before They Go”.
