Today, Memorial day, is of coarse the day set aside where we all recognize the people we owe for these high priced freedoms we so often take for granted, and far far too many of today too often abuse.To those brave soldiers both here with us and gone, we wish a great day and our heartfelt yet far insufficient thanks for the incredible sacrifices of they and their or our families, along with their lost brethren no longer with us today either by virtue of war or father time they still remain close in our thoughts.
While they may not be physically with us today, they are in our hearts and minds on this day and others, as the greater portion but sadly not all we Americans appreciate their ultimate sacrifices made on our behalf, and most of all for their country, one that we promise will not fall into the hands of evil in this lifetime.
And while evildoers and their ugly heads are presently knocking at our door, rest assured they're coming in as much as it and some in this country wish them to, but on our watch it ain't happening neither today, nor tomorrow, only over our dead bodies just as it was theirs.
Thank you for all you do and have done for us.
