"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude."
-Cynthia Ozick-
To all of our veterans and active military members and their families and loved ones: I am forever grateful for your service and sacrifice today and everyday. May you experience the gratitude our nation feels on this Veterans Day and beyond.
Ten years ago when I received this flag in September by "M". I was truly overwhelmed & carried this flag with me through difficult health days, different moves, and it even spent the night in several hospitals with me reminding me to be brave and how grateful that I am to live in a country that gave me the freedom to have my biggest concern be my life and health. Thank you to all of the soldiers (and spouses) who have (and are continuing to) served.
And thank you "M" for serving our country, for showing me over all of these years what it means to be brave in deep ways and for fighting, for fighting for things that need to be addressed and most of all for changing my life. Twice.
"Freedom is NEVER free."
