Memorial Day...Every Day

The reason we are posting this after the day…

There are Birthdays, Mom’s Days, Dad’s Days, Easter Days, Christmas Days as well as countless other significant days. Often, once the event day has passed, we tend to let the memory fade into the background. So, after this Memorial Day…

I want to do better by them every day.

Like many, I’ve been around long enough to witness the brave heroics of our uniformed sons and daughters in our offense and defense. This, in a time, when there are serious questions about the decisions at various levels that are being made as to who, what, when, where, and how our troops may be placed in harms way.

In light of these special troops’s devotion, hopefully we will celebrate their sacrificial commitment more on a daily basis. We go to ball games and sit on the sidelines and scream and yell our brains out…all for someone to gain a point of some kind. In contrast, we are sitting on another sideline. Do we have the same passion and emotion to express a loud thanks for our troops as they gain points for our continued freedom?

Personally, I want to do better by them every day.

In the process of how they had to decide on this career…here are the individual steps compared to the MODELTM.

#1- Opportunity: To serve their country (unselfishly)

#2- Commitment: The ultimate (if required)

#3- Solution: Enlist on purpose (voluntarily)

#4- Action: Go and serve where required (unquestionably)

This adds up to a life decision well done.

Please accept our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of you.

Freedom is not free.
