So, it is memorial weekend... and where am I? Sitting at my desk, working... finishing up plans for the wedding in 8 days... Lane is in New York City for fleet week on behalf of/in representation of-- the U.S. Navy. I always admired a soldier and commended them for what they do... But I never fully comprehended the extent of their duties--Now, I have a deeper appreciation for our military members. Even when they are not shooting a weapon at an enemy or being shipped to another country for our well-being, they are always representing our country and doing whatever it takes to make sure we have a decent life. On call, called last minute for a mission, on a mission, or at home... our military members have done MORE than they are recognized for and deserve much more than they settle for. Their duty is their job, and what they choose to do, yes... but we need to appreciate them more often than we do and show more gratitude for all the sacrifices they have made and continue to make every single day. happy memorial day to all.. and Lane, I am so proud of you and honored to be a part of your life. Thank you for all that you have done for myself, my loved ones, and every other person in our country. You are an amazing, strong, dedicated, and passionate man, and I commend you for all you have done for our country. I love you.
In closing, I found this quote quite interesting:
"The dead soldier's silence sings our national anthem." -Aaron Kilbourn
