The Veterans Day holiday is upon us, and I can't think of Veterans Day without being humbled by the sacrifices made by so many. The sacrifices that continue to be made by so many. I am truly amazed and admire them all.
Brave men and women have been willingly putting aside personal safety and security for a higher cause for years. They have been willing to set aside comfort and protection to provide those things for folks they don't even know. I don't think you can think of veterans without thinking of bravery, commitment, determination and so many other adjectives.
Today's word isn't necessarily speaking of just veterans but it comes from a very brave man, Billy Graham. Mr. Graham's quote says, "Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened."
There have been countless numbers of courageous and brave people that have never served in our military. But, those in our military are certainly brave and courageous. That courage is often contagious. When we see someone stand up for what they believe, it is hard not to be encouraged by their bravery.
This veterans day, remember those who have sacrificed and those who continue to sacrifice. I believe we have the bravest men and women protecting our freedoms. I thank them for their sacrifice. I stand strong because of their courage. I feel secure because of their bravery. Veterans, I salute you! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
