The men and women who serve in our armed forces are great examples of people who are living intentionally. They are not drifting through life aimlessly. They chose to live for a cause greater than themselves – freedom.
They have made tremendous sacrifices. They have endured the grueling training of boot camp, the separation from loved ones while deployed overseas, horrific injuries, and even death.
I often say great people are just average people who repeatedly attempt great things. No one exemplifies that more than our veterans.
Thank you.
Wow, Paul – thank you for this post, and especially for that sweet video. Today is like any other day, but for me it’s also a day for me to recognize the fact that I am so grateful for those I served alongside in our Armed Forces. I am grateful for veterans and servicemembers everywhere. It was an honor to stand up and serve this country I love so much. I won’t say it was easy. But, I will say that I am grateful to God and my country for having had the opportunity and experiences that I did.
Laura, thanks for your comment. And thanks soooo much for serving our country!!!
