Just a note. Blogging has been a little bit sporadic this past few days because I have been helping my Marine son-in-law, my daughter, their two young daughters, and two senior citizen cats relocate from Jacksonville, NC, to San Diego, CA. It was a four day drive from where I joined them (Memphis, TN), and they are in their new house expecting furniture to arrive tomorrow. I'm looking forward to sleeping on a real mattress again!!!
I mention this because it reminds me of the sacrifices the entire family of a military person makes in support of that person. I was on the base today and saw hundreds of dedicated Marines of all ages who have made countless sacrifices to serve their country. They live in whatever state the government sends them to, and their families follow without hesitation. The are paid considerably less than their civilian counterparts, but serve without complaint. If you are like me, you go through your day not even thinking about the sacrifices made everyday by our military to keep us safe and our country strong.
If you see a soldier, a marine, or any other military man today, don't forget to thank him!!!
