We've all been gung-ho today about supporting our military -- those who serve today and those who served before. And that is exactly as it should be.
But where will we be tomorrow? I'm challenging you, my friends. I know we've reached almost 2,000 independent readers of this blog. Something I never dreamed could happen. Wow -- are 2,000 folks seriously interested in the goings and comings of ordinary middle-aged, middle-income Americans? Apparently, they are, and we are humbled at the thought of it.
At any rate -- It's awesome to set aside a day to love and remember our military. But I'm proposing that we need to remember them EVERY SINGLE DAY. After all, they are taking care of us, every single day. Their spouses and children are sacrificing and living without them every single day for our benefit. And I heard today that a father in China was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for speaking against the tainted milk that caused his daughter to be ill. Think it can't happen here? Think again!!!

All I'm saying is that who here in the USA would even worry about speaking out against something that hurt our child or loved one? We would be yakking our heads off, and that's for sure. Taking your freedom of speech for granted???? Stop it!!! Stop and thank a veteran, thank an enlisted person. Seriously. Here today, gone tomorrow. If we don't hold them up, who should? I ask you????
Now go to soldiers angels (.org) and sign up. Do something real. You feel it today, you'll carry it throughout the year. You'll thank us!!! And you'll end up thanking the real ones who have made a difference in your lives.
