Today is a day that forces me to reflect back in time. I think about a time before me. I think about men and women who served our Country. There were many who gave all. I would not be where I am today without those who paved the way for Freedom. I do not deserve such freedom. I look around in other parts of the world and see many people who are oppressed. To those people I can only pray that your day of freedom comes soon but I must tell you that freedom comes with a great price tag. It requires that many good men and women shed their blood. Ironically, 'freedom' is never 'free'.
On this day, May 31, 2010, I thank my God that I have the freedom to celebrate as I see fit. I humbly offer thanks to those men and women who came before me and paid the price so that I could be free. I am eternally grateful!
