Today, we commemorate the men and women who died while in military service to our country. These people faced the ultimate fear and paid the ultimate price!
My Dad, who died several years ago, served during WWII in the Army Air Corps. On a few rare occasions, he spoke of some of his experiences, and of comrades who paid that ultimate price. Most people who witnessed the bloodshed never spoke of it again. There is nothing more devastating than war.
Amid all of today's turmoil, corporations bigger than government, an economy in trouble because of greed, a seemingly complete lack of ethics among elected officials, we all need to remember those who died for us as well as those who survived. No matter our political views, we need to be thankful for the men and women who served before and who serve now.
Today, I remember and I'm thankful!
