I am glad our country establishes monuments and statues in recognition of our heroes who fight for our country. I am unaware of any other nation having a volunteer military like the U.S.A.. We got rid of the draft and all of our service members sign up by choice. It is their choice to volunteer and fight for our freedoms and rights that we cherish today. It is because of these young men and women that are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice allows us to sleep in peace at night.
Remember that while you are sleeping in your bed peacefully tonight there is someone staying awake on a ship off of some foreign cost watching out for your and my safety. While you are safe in your car driving your little ones to school or an after school event, there is an American on foreign soil fighting for you to keep your freedoms and security which allows you to spend time safely with your little ones.
These two pictures were taken on Christmas Eve 2011 at the Vietnam memorial in Washington DC. Please take the time and pray for those who are fighting for our country. Remember that many of them are there fighting because it is their sworn duty to fight and defend our great nation with honor, courage and commitment. When we pray let’s not forget them.
