I’ll be right here!

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I’ll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We’ll always be ready because we will always be there.

The quote above is from the 3 Doors Down song Citizen Soldier, which was written for/about the US National Guard.  As you know, Monday is Memorial Day here in the United States.  It is a time when many people, myself included, will go visit the graves of loved ones.  While doing so, don’t forget to take a moment or two to remember the soldiers who have died fighting to protect us.  Let’s also take time to remember and thank the soldiers all over the globe that continue to protect and fight for our freedoms.

Thanks!

If any of my readers are currently serving in the military or are veterans, I would like to take this moment to thank you.  Your service to the United States is very much appreciated!

I too will be going to visit my families graves. The cemetary here has a special area for veterns. I walked through that a while ago. They are also having all kinds of services.

I was watching QVC last night and while taking a call from a viewer he was talking to Junior and said that he was a former Navy man and someone in the audience said “Thank You”. That was so special. As a person who has a family member serving in the Air Force now, who has been to Iraq and will probably be back there by the end of the year this is a special time for me. I never take for grated that our freedom doesn’t come free!
