Today, I would like to Thank everyone who has or is.......... fighting for my freedom.
War isn't an easy subject for us to think or talk about . We all share our own opinions. I think it for some this is a bitter subject because they have family members & friends serving . Some of us just cant bear the thought of it and some even lay down their lives to protest it.
I come from a long Family line of Men and Women who have and do serve our Country. There have been some of us ,Who protested serving in the military.
Some are very serious about their opinions and will fight to the core of evil to voice them....
I Will not say that I think war is good or just in all circumstances , That would be untruthful . I do think that in some certain spaces of time in our Countries History,Certain Wars were a necessity and had to be fought.
I will say this : If it were not for the bravery and pride of some ,who gave all , This great Country we live in would not be such a nice place to live. I look at different Countries around the world and see children fighting. I see bombs blasting right in their front yards. I see the pain they endure and say to myself .... Thank you whoever you are , Thank you for my freedom....
I found this video at You Tube and I thought it some times sad but a great way of saying "Thank you" to, All who gave some and Some who gave all.......
Thank You, to all who continue to serve ,I commend you on a job well done.....
