Memorial Day 2008 - Today I am Thankful

I am thankful for Life, Freedom, and Honor. Today I am sitting here thinking of the Men & Women who are giving everything for us. I also think of three Men that who I Love and Respect and thank God for letting me be a part of their life’s. I know that you always see and hear these three words on Memorial Day but these three words have a huge significance to me.

See Life is what we are living today. They have lived life for each one of us. Not only have they lived life but they have given it for us. These Men and Women have given us unconditional life. We are here on this earth because of them. We have to thank each of them for our Life. We have to thank God for letting them give, because they are the chosen ones. Each one of them has given us Freedom to be what and who we are today. I hold a deepest respect and Honor for each one of them and there is not a day that goes by that I will not forget and I will always remember their unconditional life and love of us.

These three Men that I Love and Respect are great Men. First, I have to thank the first Man. He as pasted but he was full of Life and allow me to live it each and everyday. He taught me that Freedom was not free and to Honor those who are giving and have gaven it unconditionally. This Man was a true giver, an American Patriot and gave to us each and everyday. This Man was like no other. This Man was my hero and he is my Father.

The second Man is still living and gave to me something no one else can give. That is Freedom. Freedom to be who I am and Freedom to be free and full of live, and just like my Father he is an American Patriot. See he has given and still gives today to our veterans and anyone else he can help. This Man is like no other he is my only Brother.

The third Man is Life, Freedom and Honor. See he made a choice, a choice to give unconditionally to us, to each one of us, just as the other two Men did before him. This unconditional Man shows his Honor each and everyday to me. This Man is My Nephew a U.S. Marine.

Today I would like to Honor and all who have and are serving all of us unconditionally. As well as those Men and Woman who are the chosen ones, on this Memorial Day I thank you for Life, Freedom and your unconditional Honor.
