Today, we could have slept in. We didn't, but we could have. Today, I did such a mundane task as to call a pharmacy and use the automated system to renew a prescription.
Today, and any other day, we can barbecue 'burgers and feast on them. I can lounge in a robe, do the crossword, drink Starbucks and listen to the morning birds outside making their summer songs.
There is no gunfire. There are no rockets. We did not have to undergo training to learn how to survive another day. We are calm. We do not fear, this morning.
Thank God, first. Then thank all of the young Americans who signed up so that we can experience life this way. There will be accidents and angers in our world. The will be those who require policing. But, in general, Harms Way remains away from our shores.
We thank those who hazard all they possess so that we remain able to choose. Thank you for our Freedom.

I could not say it better. Only need to add my Amen to your post and then say Happy Memorial Day to you.
yes, our freedom has been paid in blood. Just like our salvation. I enjoy the freedom we have thanks to those that serve and gave their lives. I thank them for our freedom.
Thank you to the men and women who are serving. You are our heroes. Very well posted Ranger.
It is a day of mixed emotions, isn't it? Sadness and gratitude swirled together.
