Memorial Day thoughts...
The men and women in our military are more on my mind than usual because it is Memorial Day weekend.
I think about those that served and went to war in the past, but, we have been engaged in Iraq & Afghanistan for a very long time and those serving have been deployed so many times.
Yes, I get upset with the politicians and reasons for our going to war currently, but, I do think about the troops and do thank them for serving.
Not really from a big military family, yet, relatives of mine have been serving stints in the military since WWII. Enlisted only, no officers. Just a lot of grunts! I'm proud of them, however and know there are quite a few members that have kin serving now. I wish them all the best in safety and when they come home. Hopefully, soon, they will stay home!
