Memorial Day - Remember Those Who This Day is For!!

This day may be personal.
You may know someone has been killed in action or wounded.

As I research this and I looked at the number just for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and began to look at the faces of the fallen. I realized how much more heart breaking it is to see their faces, not just numbers.
There is a family somewhere who's life will never be the same.
Whether you believe in the war or not isn't really the point. It's whether the man and woman of these wars believe their lives are worth risking.
These men and women have a love for this country that makes them willing to give their lives for it.

Remember to honor past and present troops who have died for this country and you.
Let's not forget those who are wounded and are trying to rebuild their lives with all that Government red tape in their way.
Thank You to all those troops who are serving.
May you all return safely.

Any troops out there who are from Wise County that run across this blog, see you soon.
