Today on this Memorial Day we may all be attending BBQ's, doing things around the house, planting flowers or spending time with friends and family. I hope that you didn't have to work today but if you did you just might be an American soldier. My husband is a Wounded Warrior and a retired Army Veteran. Memorial Day has more than just a little sentiment for us. This weekend 2 years ago is when he deployed to Afghanistan. It is hard to watch the news and see the slideshow of local soldiers who didn't make it home. It very well could have been him.
I wanted to post today about my hike of 5.5 miles up in the mountains and how beautiful it is here in Colorado and how I loved just having the day off. But, after watching the 6:00 news and seeing the men who didn't return home, I thought it is only right as a spouse of a Wounded Warrior to honor the men and women in our military today and say THANK YOU. Thank you for missing your holidays with your family, thank you for missing the birth of your children, the deaths of loved ones, the moments that make memories in our lives. Thank you for sacrificing. Thank you for volunteering and signing up to defend this great nation of ours. Thank you for protecting us from the threats that are out there. You are loved and appreciated. I have no other or better words other than THANK YOU!
