I am so grateful for our freedoms. It is another one of those things, like electricity and plumbing, that we totally take for granted. We live our lives, make our choices, do what we want, all without a single worry about whether we can or not. We can. It is our right. Our liberty. We get to be free. We can make our choices and live the lives we choose for ourselves. And we forget just how lucky we are to be able to do all that. We forget that there are people in the world who don't have those rights and that if it weren't for wise, brave, and selfless men and women who have sacrificed for our rights, we wouldn't either.
Today is Veteran's Day and it just seemed right to express my gratitude for all who have fought, all who are fighting now, and all who ever will fight for our freedom. I am so grateful for them, and also for their families who sacrifice just as much in letting their loved one leave and risk their life for us.
