I don't suppose it would be most appropriate to say "Happy Remembrance Day," but it is still a day that should weigh heavy on all of our minds today. The freedoms we are lucky enough to enjoy today is primarily due to the men and women that have fought - and continue to fight - for our country.
I am very proud of my brother, and am so grateful for the other soldiers like him that continue to stand on guard for our freedoms. This is a job that not many people would want to have, nor would ever say is an ideal job, but it is something that is so very important for all of us. Regardless of your thoughts and opinions of everything that is going on in the middle east, I think we should all be thankful and grateful that we have people willing to continue to fight on our behalf. And, more importantly, we need to remember those that have not made it home while they were fighting for these same freedoms.
I hope everyone took 2 minutes this morning. It seems like a long time while standing there, remembering, but in the course of a life time, 2 minutes is nothing. I wish all of our troops were back and home, and had their jobs deemed unnecessary. Maybe some day.
Hug your loved ones, and thank a soldier that you can.
