Hearing that yet another operation is underway in Afghanistan as of yesterday (their time) just makes me think of all the servicemen everywhere who attempt to help others defend their own freedom and rights - and the sacrifice they make being away from family and friends.
My cousin Jackie's hubby is in Afghanistan, so our family all has a front row seat to the hardship something like this brings. As I pray for Aaron, I think of all the others who stand beside him in our military and hope they continue to stay safe and come home soon!
As we all celebrate yet another Independence Day this weekend, can we all just say some prayers and try to think of all the men and women in the Armed Forces who will not be here (for one reason or another) to celebrate the 4th alongside their loved ones...
We appreciate the risks they take, the duty they feel, and the cost they pay to keep this country safe and free.
Thank you.
