It's Veteran's Day.
I'm thankful for those who fight for my right to freedom. I'm thankful for those who have fought, those who support those fighting, those who are still fighting. I am indebted to them.
I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for those willing to protect my rights, and my country. I am thankful for the family and friends of those who serve. It's not easy. But I am thankful.
I love America. I love the freedoms I enjoy by living in this great country. Regardless of how you feel about our current leaders, the current political issues, or the other issues that come with having a free nation, you should always be grateful for the opportunities that we are afforded just by being citizens of this country.
When I think of what I would give up by living somewhere else, I am overwhelmed with how lucky I am. People scramble to get here, to live how we live and gain the opportunities we have.
I am sad to say that I don't give it a whole lot of thought; I take it for granted. I need to be better about it.
On days like this, I reflect, and am grateful.
