Memorial Day Thanks
On the 30th of May, it is important to set aside some time to think about the freedoms we have, how we obtained them, and how we maintain them. Thousands of men and women have placed themselves in danger to ensure American freedoms. Many did not live beyond the danger they faced, many survived but with physical or psychological wounds, and many mothers, fathers, children, siblings, and other loved ones have suffered deep, life-altering losses because a child, parent, brother, sister, or other relative decided to be one who defends American freedom.
Freedom comes with consequences – not all of them pretty. The very least we can do is honor all our fellow citizens who faced the consequence of death while defending our constitutional rights.
So this gardener humbly says, 'thank you.'
Your sacrifice is not forgotten … your family's sacrifice is not forgotten.
