Today is Memorial Day and we just want to take a moment to remember those who have been faithful to their country and been willing to service in the US Military in the past and still today.
My dad, (Judy) served during WWII in the South Pacific and was one of the most honorable men ever. He left a legacy that will never be forgotten and I am proud of him. Our son, Chris is serving now and drawing to a close his 2nd deployment in 5 years. He has been separated from his family since April of 2008. We are so proud of him and his willingness to serve his country today and we appreciate the sacrifice he has made to do so. Living with Min and the boys this year has shown us what the cost of serving your country means. It is not only the soldiers but the military spouses and children that are paying the cost. We salute all of you today and say a great big thank you!
Some of the men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice and we never want to take for granted what they have given so that we might be free.
Guka and Luke went to the local Memorial service this am to pay tribute to those who have given their lives for our great country.
Today we will have a cookout with our neighbors and then go to a Shorebirds baseball game. Yesterday we worshiped with the Body of Christ in a country that still allows religious freedom. The things we value most as Americans, Our God, our country, our families, our friends must never be taken lightly. We enjoy all of these because of the great sacrifice of our military men and women.
