MERRY CHRISTMAS!
My Dad arrives today. My Mom, Mother-in-Law, and oldest daughter are
already here along with my wife and the rest of my 4 children. The only
main players left out are my brother-in-law, his wife and their
daughter. Everyone is healthy and happy to be together. I wish that
everyone had it as good as we do.
So many of our people, those who ensure our safety, security and freedom
every day are still in harms way keep us safe and making sure that we
can celebrate in peace in any way we please if we so choose. They ensure
that if we don’t want to celebrate any religious holiday we have that
freedom as well. They give up so much of their own freedom and even
their individualism to join their brothers and sisters in harms way to
protect those they love and those they have never met. That’s called
dedication. That’s called Patriotism. This, my friends, is true love.
Love of family. Love of country. Love of freedom. May they always be
safe and ALWAYS feel the appreciation that we have for them. God Bless
them all. To every member of the Armed Forces of the United States of
America: Thank You!
