Veteran's Day Reflection

By
Real Estate Agent with Lake Conroe Real Estate

I am so proud to be an American!  I know that might sound cheesy these days but I for one, still believe strongly and reverently about what our forefathers have sacrificed for us!  Each Veterans Day, I reflect on what these men and women before us have done for our freedom.  I also reflect on the men and women who bravely fight for our freedom and that of other's around the world!

It is wonderful that so many of the schools include wonderful Veteran's Day programs and parades to honor these individuals.  My son's school at The Woodlands High School had an awesome program this morning.  Even though the event had to be moved indoors due to the rain, the program went off without a hitch.  I saw many tears in the audience as those men and women were honored in a very moving ceremony.

Today as we think about a new administration taking the helm, I pray that none of us will ever forget how this country obtained it's freedom.  Freedom does NOT come without a price.  Freedom comes through the shed blood of loyal men and women who believe in the cause they are fighting for.  Thank you to all of our Veterans out there!  You each have made it possible for myself and my family to live in this wonderful and free country!

Paula, If it is cheesy to be a proud american; then color me cheesy!  I have lived abroad, and that experience has shown me that I have good reason to be proud!  I also never get tired of thanking those brave men and women who protect this great country!  Thank you again!  Good post!
