Semper Fidelis

In observance of Memorial Day, I would like to send my gratitude to all those who have or are currently serving our country. Without these men and women, we would not be the country that we are, we would not have the freedoms that we do. So many times we, as Americans, take things for granted. We become very selfish and act as though we own this place, but in reality, we did nothing. It is because of the hard, brave work of our soldiers that continuously fight to keep our country the best in the world. The way we act at times is an injustice to what our soldiers are fighting to protect.

Without you, we would not be able to voice our opinions, no matter how misinformed and irrelevant they may be. Without you, we would not be able to worship. Without you, we would not have a voice in the way the government is conducted. Without you, we would not be who we are as a nation. We are the best and we are blessed.

Thank you to all of our service men and women. You do more work before 5 AM than most of us do all week. You've seen, heard, and fought against things that we can barely imagine. I appreciate all that you do and have done. For those who paid the ultimate price in service our America, may God bless your families for the sacrifice you made. I know that I personally will never take you or your service for granted
