Had an opportunity to go through some old boxes today and found some great memories of my time in the service. I’m grateful to those that served with me for always having my back and making sure I made it back each time we deployed. So many, in spite of their brothers and sisters also having had their back, did not come home. Remembering and honoring these fallen brothers and sisters in arms, and their ultimate sacrifice, is what Memorial Day is all about. As I’m spending time with family this weekend, which I do thanks to our fallen’s great gift of freedom, I’ll take time to make sure my kids understand the true cost of such a wonderful gift.
