Honor and Appreciation

Honor and Appreciation, today is a Day we set aside to give Honor and Appreciation. I think we should give honor and appreciation every day at any opportunity that we have to say Thank You to the men and women and the families that have lost a loved one, Veterans that have served and Service Members we see everyday. When I am in airports traveling, I try to buy every service member I see a cup of coffee and say “Thank You”.  A cup of coffee is a small thing, the the thank you’s should be always there.

When I think of the family members that served so that I can have the freedom to write this post, and make choices for my life every day, Thank You is a small thing. When people make decisions to make life better for others, it benefits us from generation to generation. When we take Freedom for granted, it endangers the sacrifice that has been made, Freedom takes commitment and responsibility. When my son served in the Navy on a Nuclear Submarine, and he was gone for months without any family contact, every day I prayed and was thankful for the safety of all on his boat. My grandfathers service in WW!! has benefitted my grandchildren.

I am grateful, and today I say “Thank You!” with Honor and Appreciation! In Memory!
