Thank you for your service

I interpret this normally scheduled Monday message to bring you a special Monday Treadmill Treats:
Thank you for your service

We forget what this weekend is all about, it's not about a three day weekend, it's not about the start of beach season, it's not about back yard Bbq.

It's about remembering the brave men and women who fought for our country, who fought and gave their lives for our freedom.

I so miss my step father who was a World War 2 veteran.
He was actually the one in the plane who dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. He was so proud of being a veteran that every Memorial day he would put on his uniform right down to his hat and black shiny shoes and would march in the parade our town would have.

He would carry the flag, as I sat on the curb with my mom watching all of these brave men and women march. They were all so proud, that even 50 years later, they were still  proud to have served their country.

Some were out there in walkers, some in wheel chairs but they were there all the same.

I am lucky to come from a family of service men, my father served in the navy, even all of my uncles were servicemen. One of them was even a Blue Angel, many of my cousins severed as well. These are a different bunch of men, they are proud, they love their country so much so, that they are willing to die for it.
I was lucky enough to date a bunch of servicemen as well.

Here's the thing can you say that? If they needed you to go today to fight for your county and other's freedom would you go or would you make excuses?

There was no "let me think about "
for these people, it was yes, absolutely I will go! Sign me up!

So today while your enjoying the beach and your Bbq remember why your really off, what today is really about, it is to salute, to celebrate, to remember and honor the many men and women who fought for us and lost their lives.

And give thanks for the millions more who are still risking their lives each and every day for your freedom.

Thank you all for ensuring my freedom, words can never be enough...

"Be the change you want to see"
