Day is done, gone the sun from the lakes, from the hills, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest;
God is nigh.
We live in a great, great nation. Day in and day out we get up and worry about what to wear, what to order at Starbucks or what to do next weekend. All the while men and women sitting half way across the world worry about whether or not they will be able to call their parents and wish them one more good night or if they will ever meet their baby. These brave men and women put their lives on the line for us every day so that we may live in the comfort our of homes and lives. They fight for the freedom of those they have, and never will, meet. They make this land the home of the free and the land of the brave!
We must NEVER forget how lucky and blessed we are to live in America and we must NEVER take this freedom and service for granted. To all that serve or have gone before those that currently do so, THANK YOU for your service and thank you for making America great! We owe SO much to you all and those that stand and support you. A special thank you to a dear blog reader and Internet friend, Lisa Musgrove, whose children both serve our country. If you are related to someone currently serving please feel free to leave a comment so that we can all properly thank your family.
