Remembering On This Day

This Monday morning I am thinking of all of the men and women who have given their lives so that I can write this blog -- and live -- in freedom.

I am humbled by their sacrifice.

When I think of what they have done, I really don't know if I have that kind of courage myself, and I am in awe of the sacredness of their actions.

My prayers are for those who mourn today, those who will be honoring these lives of loved ones who have given this measure of devotion. I hope that a grateful nation doing the same will comfort them.

I am remembering too . . .
