Sunday is Veterans Day. I am so thankful and grateful to all those who have served to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. We, as a nation, will probably never agree on anything. BUT, we SHOULD all agree that those that have served to provide our freedoms are worthy of our thanks and gratitude, along with the families that support them.
Our soldiers, sailors, and airmen are all over the world ensuring that I can get to work this morning, get my kids to school, get to church this Sunday, go to the movies, dine out, talk about our government. We have the freedoms that we so richly enjoy because they are willing to give up some personal freedoms to protect it.
In honor of Veterans Day, today's word is a quote from Omar Bradley that says, "Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared to death."
We are a great nation because of those willing to sacrifice to make it great. We are a great nation as long as we remember that GOD gives us everything, and it is our duty to protect it and be good stewards of it. We are a great nation as long as we serve Him, and we do that by serving our fellow man. The hours are long, the challenges are difficult, the circumstances can be daunting, but the mission is still completed.
Thanks to all the brave men and women that serve, and have served, to protect and to preserve. I am grateful for you. I am thankful for you. I am praying for you. Thank you for making and keeping this the greatest country in the world! Happy Veterans Day!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
