With All Due Respect
Today is Memorial Day, a day to reflect on the men and women who protect our families and our countries while serving around the world. It is also to pay our respects to veterans who have since passed away.
Each and every one of these veterans have played a part in the freedoms we have today.
While I don’t always support what some protesters say, I can appreciate that they have “freedom of speech” that works both ways. I can say what I want and not worry about being arrested.
Sometimes I shake my head at some of the wild outfits I see, but thank goodness women aren’t forced to cover up just to go out in public.
Our children have access to public education and financial support to attend colleges around the country.
I have a say in the future of our country when I vote.
The media is now open to all. While you won’t see me on your local news, I can blog to my hearts content and reach hundreds of people.
I can be a single woman and own my own business and home.
We are a melting pot. While we are still debating how to react to illegal immigration, our country has amazing diversity.
We can have debate without bloodshed.
Thank you for all that you do serving our country. Thank you to the families that sacrifice by being left at home. Thank you to all of our veterans, living and dead, for making our country the amazing place it is today.
I won’t forget. God bless you all!
