A Memorial Day Tribute From Me To You!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Homes Arizona Real Estate LLC

As Americans, we have so much for which to be grateful. As I think about the sacrifices made to free our country from England, how many men and women died and suffered, I am so aware of how fortunate I am to live where I can shop, I can drive, I can worship how I may, and I can feel safe. Thank you to those that have suffered and who will continue to relinquish their lives to keep our country "free."

I grabbed the example provided by the Real Estate Shows last year and added my own touches..........I LOVE the radio version. I uploaded a few photos that Real Estate Shows provided, then unzipped them and uploaded them. I had to fool around with a lot of options, then finally figured it out. I took the script portion of the instructions they provide, clicked on the link that said to use this script for AR and voila, it did work!! There are soooooooo many things you can do with this tool as so many of you have shared. I've used it for over two years and haven't scratched the surface of its potential.

Teri - We, Our Country is very lucky. Often times we forget about those sacrificing their lives and compromising their time with their families to go off and fight for our freedom! We are so very lucky, each and everyone of us that live in the land of the brave and the free! God Bless and Have a wonderful Memorial Day. Great video!!

TERI, that was beautiful.  We have been in the United States for a long time and I think I have had relatives that have fought in almost every war.  Our son is presently in his second tour of Iraq.  Freedom is not free!

Cynthia, thank you. It's a great resource......

Candace, you're right. So many times, we focus on the negative, but we are sooooo fortunate to live in such a wonderful country. ;-) I hope your Memorial Day was a great one.

Marchel, I am so proud of those young men and women who serve our country. AND I empathize and honor their parents!

Justin, thanks so much. Happy Memorial Day to you as well! ;-)

Teri, It is so wonderful to read this blog and know that there are still people out there who appreciate their freedom. As a military wife for 13 years now I've seen that alot of folks just don't understand or support our military regardless of they believe in the cause or not. THANK YOU!

Bill so glad you enjoyed it....I enjoyed putting it together. ;-)

Shannon, I think we all truly appreciate our freedom. Some just don't as quickly put it nto words....I am all about thanking the military and their families for what they do for us - as well as those in the American Revolution who brought us our freedom with tremendous sacrifice and their lives. So glad you enjoyed my post. Congratulations on being one of those military wifes who serve so unselfishly by sharing your husband! ;-)

Great video.  Sorry the comment is so late...I was lucky enough to be in Destin, FL where the patriotism is awesome due to its proximity to the Eglin, AFB.  I was also lucky enough to get to see fly-overs by F-16's and F-15's throughout the day.  It was really special.  We are very fortunate.  Have a great week.

Eric, thank you. I'm a little late in responding to your comment as well. I love this type of thing.... how cool, flyovers by F-16s....., etc. Whenever I have the opportunity to watch those wonderful machines, I am thrilled. Good for you. Thanks again, ;-)

Teri, I'm such a dork. I watched the video a while back, but only now noticed that you created it with RES. Great job! That's a really cool tool. I need to get Jeff to share with my network of real estate pros.

Joey, you're not a dork - you're a father of four! ;-)  It is a cool tool, and Jeff really puts together a good sample every year for each holiday. I use RES for lots of stuff - especially my listings. ;-)
