11/11/11

Despite the coolness date, this day has much more to offer. Two things actually. First today is the birthday of a dear brother of mine and I would like to wish him a very Happy Birthday. Deek you are such an incredible person and a wonderful brother. I have already written you a more personal letter so this is just to wish you publicly the best of days and to say thank you and that I love you.

Second today is a day to honor the men and women who have so selflessly laid down their lives to protect this country and give us the freedoms that we enjoy everyday. A scripture that goes so well with this day is John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." How many of us are noble and selfless enough to sacrifice so much for not only loved ones but for strangers and some who are unappreciative. With the nature of war today, those back home are not always as involved as they were in say WWII. It is more of something we hear on the news instead of something that surrounds us in every aspect of our lives. Our support doesn't come for giving up material goods so that the soldiers can eat or can have good clothing but we still can and must support the troops in other ways. Giving them the respect they deserve, not blaming them for wars that have been fought and the destruction that wars bring. There are so many things we can do. And so today I salute you incredible people and have feeling of gratitude in my heart because I have been blessed to live here in this beautiful country. Thank you, may God bless you and be with you.

I just liked these quotes....

‎"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." -Elizabeth Ros


‎"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Seuss
