The older I get, the more I appreciate and understand the significance of November 11th.\u00a0 Today we remember those who sacrificed for us.\u00a0 It’s hard to wrap my head around it.\u00a0 The thought of war in our country.\u00a0 I have never had to say goodbye to someone and send them off to fight for our country and to worry and wonder or the very worst, to have to say goodbye.<\/p>\n
It is the ultimate sacrifice and for that I am so grateful.<\/p>\n
It’s easy to take for granted the everyday rights we have as individuals in this country.\u00a0 It’s what we’re used to.\u00a0 It’s what we know.\u00a0 For that, we are oh so thankful.<\/p>\n
As our national anthem played this morning, it was hard to stop the tears from flowing.\u00a0 \u00a0To sing those lyrics seem to hit me a bit harder every year.<\/p>\n
In the Fox studios, we stood for our anthem and we acknowledged the two minutes of silence.\u00a0 It’s hard to not feel emotional, realizing the impact this day has on so many.\u00a0 To recognize all those who fought for us, and those that still fight to this day.\u00a0 For those veterans who lived to tell the tale and deal with the repercussions.\u00a0 The trauma that stays with them to this day.\u00a0 I can’t imagine what they have seen and felt.\u00a0 For those veterans – I say thank you.\u00a0 From the bottom of my heart.<\/p>\n
To those who have fought and lost their lives – may we never ever forget.\u00a0 May we continue to share your stories, share your name, your history and your sacrifice.<\/p>\n
We thank you and we remember.<\/p>\n
Never forget.<\/p>\n
