Thank You For Your Service

Today is Memorial Day.  We gloss over the meaning of today.  It is a day off, a chance to get outside and enjoy.  But it is a day of remembering those who gave their lives in service for our country.  Whenever Debsue comes across a serviceman whether it is in the airport or on the street somewhere, she always thanks them for their service.  Sometimes she gets odd looks because it is so rare for someone to come up to them and actually thank them for their sacrifice for our country.  We take it for granted.  Most times once they get past the shock of her stating that, they are appreciative of her comment.  It used to make me uncomfortable, but now I am very glad she does it.  We all take for granted the freedoms we have in this country and what it took for us to have those freedoms. 

Thank you for your service!
