Memorial Day

As my husband and I worked our buns off in the yard yesterday and as I prepared some food for the "party" tomorrow I was kind of complaining to myself. I'm tired, my back is hurting the usual. Then it dawned on me. I am complaining about trivial things when the true complaints should be of those who served our country and those who lost their lives. The complaints belong to the family members, loved ones and friends of those people. In reality they probably did it all with out much of a complaint at all. They have sacrificed so much for us to live the way we do. In these days of economic woes we still need to realize what a blessed country we are. We are rich in tradition, rich in freedom. My family would like to thank all of the veterans, and their families. We would like to thank all of those who are still serving and ultimately thank those who have given the biggest sacrifice of all. Our gratitude and prayers to each of you.
