Memorial

Even if I close my eyes to the darkness, someone must stand watch.
Even if I shake my head in disapproval, someone must stand watch.
Even as I delight in warmth and comfort, someone must stand watch.
Though they deserve all we have and more, someone must stand watch.

To the men and women who have stepped forward to serve our country, and the families who endure so much to make it possible, thank you.  'Thank you' doesn't seem to be enough to repay you for your service, your bravery, and your sacrifice, but it's all I know to do.  Bless each and every one of you!

Happy Memorial Day.
