So Memorial Day almost across the nation is synonymous with sunshine right? Well, this Memorial I almost thought we would not get any. Here is the Pacific Northwest we have had a VERY cold and VERY wet spring. So cold and wet in fact that it still feels like winter a lot.....You can imagine my joy when the glorious sun came out to play for the early evening and into the night. Yes, it stays light here until about 8:30pm. But I digress. I know that it is the end of the day and I am WAY behind the power curve but I would be remiss if I did not stop a take a moment to thank all of those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom. I take my freedom very personally, freedom to me is a matter of life or death, it is not something to be taken lightly.
I Served for 6 years, I deployed to Iraq for my country I know what it takes to serve. I love all those that I served with because I had to trust them with my life. I know what it takes for a family to support a loved one who serves because my husband is still Active Duty. This life is hard, but we do it to defend our freedom and for the love of country. If you do not value your freedom and value those that sacrifice everyday so you can remain free then you are just purely un-American.
Happy Memorial Day. Thank a Veteran, visit a cemetery, hug your children.
