When I think of how much our Veterans sacrifice for our freedom, I am just filled with admiration.

There is no perfect country.  Every country has its challenges.  But our world has changed.  With technology and the ability to connect with people via the internet in seconds, we have learned that there are benefits and challenges to progress.

Uprisings and horrific treatment of people on the other side of world, is now front and center in our lives.  We learned after 9-11 just how vulnerable we are, but we quickly forget the negative.  In fact I heard our Country be called the “United States of Amnesia,” and I believe that is fairly accurate. 

We have to remember that the rest of the world does not think like we do.  We have to pay attention to people who have hate in their history and in their heart, and their sole purpose is to kill us.  Just because we have a different philosophy.  Just because we try to tolerate and appreciate the differences among us. 

There are daily examples of how individuals are not tolerant of each other.  It is painful to see senseless acts of violence.  But this is where we are as a society, and we have a lot of work to do to improve. 

The point is that we are given the luxury of managing our lives and our social issues, because we have a team of men and women who love what this Country stands for. 

We stand for Freedom. 

We are the most compassionate people in the world, and give to causes that matter.  On this Memorial Day take a moment to pray for the safety of our heroes that allow you to lead the life of Freedom that you have.
