“THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!”
Thank you for your service to our country.”
Like clicking on a seatbelt, make it second nature to reach out to anyone you meet or see who is or has been in America’s military. Reach out to shake that person’s hand and simply say, “Thank you for your service to our country.” You shouldn’t need to ask why. And if you’ve ever traveled to a third world nation, you positively know why.
Thank you for your service to our country.”
This Memorial Day, let us each take a moment of silence out of our own lives and be thankful that we are even able to do that: to be thankful for the freedom we have—to walk down the street, to express our opinions publicly without fear of reprisal, to travel between states without fear or intimidation or threats to be murdered, to pursue our careers and religious feelings and family lives in the ways that we choose, to be able to choose in the first place, to be able to vote and elect our representatives in government, to have so many dedicated young men and women serving so selflessly in our military, to have a flag and a nation we can be proud of.
Thank you for your service to our country.”
There are so many more freedoms that we forget about most of the time, that even on Memorial Day, we tend to lose behind hot dogs, hamburgers, baseball, beer and soda . . . behind family and friend gatherings, ice cream, boatrides and horseshoes. Yet these, the very things in life that count the most, come from the courageous veterans of our military who have given their very lives, their body parts, their hearts and souls for us that we might enjoy our precious rights and freedoms.
Thank you for your service to our country.”
Next time, anytime, you meet or see someone who is or has been in America’s military. Reach out to shake that person’s hand and simply say, “Thank you for your service to our country.” halalpiar
