Yesterday was Veteran's Day, and I had the blessing of spending it with my wife and children. It was a beautiful day that allowed us to get outside and enjoy GOD'S beauty. If you could pick the weather for a day off in November, it couldn't have been much better than yesterday's.
While enjoying my family, though, I couldn't help but stop and think about all the brave men and women that have served and sacrificed in order to allow me that blessing. I think we so often take for granted the freedoms we have, how those freedoms are preserved, and those who do the preserving. I never take it for granted.
With Veteran's Day in mind, today's word is a quote from the great General Omar Nelson Bradley: "Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death."
Our service men and women are super brave! In some of the worst circumstances, in some of the worst places, in some of the worst situations, they perform properly and flawlessly. That's bravery!
I salute you all! Thank you so much for your sacrifices in service to our country! May GOD protect and keep you. May He bless your families and bring you safely back to them. And, thank you veterans for your willingness to protect the freedoms that I so richly enjoy!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
