Once again, our national day of mourning and remembrance of those in our Armed Forces is celebrated in good fashion. Beside the well-deserved remembrances and honors of those who gave their lives to ensure American freedoms since the beginning, recently we, as a nation, have begun to show and speak gratitude for their service to our country…which is always very personal and very real.
And, on this day of national remembrance, we do keep in mind the members of our Police Forces and First Responders across our great nation who also died or strive daily to save us!
So a big thanks to all those in my family and the American family for their dedicated service and sacrifices for the protection of our American values and, indeed, our very lives!
Today, we can remember each one best by resolving to be the best that we can be in our daily lives and not take our hard-won freedoms and social services for granted.
In silent prayer, with a kind word or a warm smile to others when appropriate, and actively supporting our government through voting, volunteering, and holding our elected officials accountable to promoting the general welfare of all Americans, we can best serve our nation daily in the highest possible way!
