Today I’m not posting as an attorney.
I’m posting as a Marine momma. 🇺🇸
And on this Memorial Day, I need to say what’s on my heart.
Memorial Day isn’t a holiday to me. It’s a holy day.
It’s the day I look at my son, my Marine, and I am reminded that there are mothers just like me who sent their child off… and waited… and that knock on the door came instead. 😞
I will never take for granted what that means.
Every boot left at a memorial. Every folded flag handed to trembling hands. Every name etched in stone that used to have a heartbeat, a laugh, a mama who called them by a nickname only she used.
Freedom was not free. It was purchased with someone’s child.
And some families are still paying that price today. 💔
So now that the cookouts are done and long weekend is coming to a close I invite you to pause. Just pause.
Say a name. Light a candle. Hug your people tighter.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

To every fallen hero and every Gold Star family: I see you. I honor you. I will never stop remembering.
