Memorial Day Weekend.. My thoughts..

I can say I had a good Memorial day weekend...

I saw Kung Fu Panda 2.  I can say it was better than the original and wouldn't mind seeing it again.  As I look back on my experience I can't help but to think there is military man or woman who was looking forward to the sequel but will never get to see it with their family.

I saw romantic comedy in the company of friends as well. I love romantic comedies.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to share it with a significant other but there is a military widow or widower who will never get to share that tender moment with their loved one again.

I bowled and played tennis today.  Although I did better than I thought in tennis I can honestly say I've never sucked so bad in bowling, but there is a miltary man or who will never get to teach their child to play sports at all.

Most importantly I went to church, Pastor Jeff put it down on the pulpit.  I enjoyed giving a recap to my friends but there is military man or woman who will never get to preach the gospel to their loved ones.

I can say I had a good Memorial Day weekend, but there are others who sacrificed their happiness for my safety and freedom.  This post is in honor of those like my father whose service to their country cost them their life.  I want you to know that even though most of us had a good time this weekend, your service has not gone unnoticed.
