Take Time to Say “Thank You”
Memorial Day is the traditional start of summer. It usually involves picnics, family, time away from work and many other fun activities. For me it usually signaled the start of the marathon of beach trips.
But the real truth, the significance of this day is far from those peaceful days at the pool or beach or BBQ grill, it’s to thank those men and women who fought dozens of wars sometimes thousands of miles away from family and friends. And regardless of the cause, these brave men and women answered the call to duty and to protect our way of life.
Our current and past military personnel have given a lot to each and every one of us. And many of those have given the ultimate sacrifice.
So today is the day that we thank those brave soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines for their supreme commitment to our way of life. Thanking them for the freedom we enjoy. Freedom is not free – just ask one of the spouse, children, parents and friends of a lost one, just how much Freedom costs. You would be surprised.
So, if for only a minute today, take time out of your day to thank these brave and dedicated men and women for their service.
Until next time, Tightlines
