GRATEFUL

As we approach this Memorial weekend, all I can think is "grateful". Am grateful for the courage and efforts of soldiers who in the past and now in the present day are willing to defend our country and freedom. Sure, we are an imperfect country just as are we each imperfect people but that does not diminish the fact that our country offers more democracy, freedoms, opportunities and protection than most other countries.

Thank you to all the service members and families of our wonderfully brave military. We mourn those who are no longer here and pray for those who are either retired now or in active duty. Not going to be selfish this long weekend by not acknowledging why this holiday exists. GRATITUDE IS MY ATTITUDE!
