One day, sitting on our front porch, I asked my wife, “Can you imagine a hostile army [either foreign or domestic] marching down this street someday?”

~

“No, I can’t,” she honestly responded.

~

Then I said, “For so long we have taken for granted what thousands have died for, that we no longer fully appreciate it.  Because of that, we risk losing it.  That’s the nature of time.  We forget.”

Freedom… no sovereign nation holds a more precious gift, nor a more delicate one.

This Thanksgiving, may we all express our humble gratitude.

~

May we once again proclaim our dedication to creating a more enlightened world.
