Honor
to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause.
Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves,
as he best can, the same cause. - Abraham Lincoln
In
valor there is hope. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
How
important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! -
Maya Angelou
Patriotism
- love for or devotion to one's country
Over the weekend, I was talking with a
Marine and he told me he chose to serve because of his love and devotion to our
country and the desire to defend and protect others.
As I thought about what he said, I
started thinking about all of the men and women that have served this great
country in the United States military. My favorite soldier is my grandfather who flew planes during
World War II in the Army Air Corps before it became the United States Air
Force. As I will tell
anyone who will listen, I am a sassy Texan because of this great man.
This coming Sunday, we have the opportunity
to thank these amazing veterans who have protected our great country by serving
in the United States military. Because
of these amazing men and women, TODAY Americans will be going to their polling
locations to cast their ballot to vote in various elections. These men and women dedicated their lives to
protect and defend our great land so that ALL
AMERICANS have the right to cast their ballot.
CHALLENGE: Today (Tuesday) –
Vote; Sunday – Thank a veteran for his/her service!
