This morning, I had the privilege of watching 125 of the most adorable first graders sing patriotic songs to guests of honor - veterans. There were great-grandfathers, grandfathers, aunts, and uncles - and the look in every eye was the same - pride. Pride for the service they'd given, for the courage they'd demonstrated, for the selflessness they'd shared.
How easy it is, in the day to day, to forget about these courageous men and women who are busy risking their lives, in foreign lands, away from their families, so that we can go about our day to day life, worrying about silly things like our Facebook posts.
Today, and everyday, I am so thankful for the amazing veterans who make our life as we know it possible. The extent of their sacrifices is incomprehensible to someone like me, but I'm so grateful to have a day like today to stop and truly think about that selflessness.
Thank you veterans, for your valor, wisdom, and strength.
