During this time, let us remember to give thanks and to pray for those who have put, and are putting, their lives on the line for us. We often forget how blessed we really are to live in the great USA.
I have been in contact with some who are fighting in wars, and their stories would bring anyone with half a heart to tears. The darkness of death lurks all around them day and night. The choices they must make in do or die situations are unbelievable and quite heart-breaking. They often must make quick decisions in a blink of an eye: Their lives and those around them depend on it.
I can't stress enough that we must pray for them and their safety each and every day. We must make it a point as citizens to give them a place to come back to, where they can be proud that they have served. Let us not judge our veterans for the mental and emotional battles they must continue to fight after returning. Instead, let's give them comfort and compassion, joining in to share our appreciation for all that they have done.
Let's have a safe and happy life together now and forever, by being truly grateful.
