“No one can ever write a full account of the wars that were never fought, the losses that were never suffered, the tears that were never shed because the men and women of the United States Military risked their lives for peace. None of us should ever forget that. ”

President Clinton 1/5//2001

 

Today – 11.11.11 –

I pause to honor those who have served and can still celebrate their moments.

I honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service of our freedom – they honor all those who stand, remembering, by their “last full measure of devotion.”

Today I’m dressed in my best suit.  Today I will dance. Today I will reflect.  And then I’ll address some envelopes and prepare to mail letters of thanks and appreciation to soldiers deployed to danger zones.

May we…always remember and honor those who serve.
