And we remember and humbly treasure every freedom we often take for granted. The ones who lost their lives, the ones who lost a part of themselves on the battlefield, or in service. ...And yet, I grieve this year's lawmaking that is stripping freedoms away.
"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude."
-Cynthia Ozick-
We've taught our girls to approach every veteran they see year round, and say, "Thank you for your service." They are now very good at spotting the Veteran - the hat, the shirt, or patch displaying the honor.
