We should remember veterans every day

Posted:

On Monday we celebrated Memorial Day, but I hope we take time each and every day to reflect on the sacrifices made by our men and women in the armed forces.

America is America because our sons and daughters are willing to die to protect her. War is certainly hell and romantic notions of the battlefield are pure fiction, but we know that what this country stands for is worth dying for.

We are guaranteed life, liberty and pursuit of happiness –  and we should be forever grateful to the men and women willing to sacrifice their lives for those rights.
