Today is Veteran's Day...and I forgot. Did you forget? Probably...but if you didn't then PROPS! Anyway, I just came from a College Republicans meeting and it was great! The speaker was an Vietnam Veteran and I enjoyed listening to his story. Why are American's free? Because those men and women gave their lives. Even if they did not die on the battle field, they gave up their homes, families and work to go and fight in a war. many came back with bullets embedded in their bodies; some came back with arms or legs or eyes missing; some came back unable to walk or work ever again and almost all came back with emotional and mental scarring and memories to fill their dreams.
We are FREE to work, travel, live and go to school where we want. We are FREE to socialize with, date and marry whom we desire. We are FREE to stand up for our religious beliefs and defend that sacred constitution that our Founding Fathers were inspired to write. PLEASE do not forget your freedoms. PLEASE do not forget the soldier whose body was left on the battle field. Do not forget those men who went through the very worst conditions so we can have the very best conditions. I love America! I love our freedoms! I love our soldiers and I thanks my Heavenly Father everyday for those blessings.
Without knowing it was Veteran's Day, last night I watched the movie, "Saints and Soldiers." It is a great film and it helps me remember those who fought and are fighting in war. I have posted the trailer. I would recommend this movie for everyone.
