All day I have been muling over what Veterans day means to me. Aside for being very grateful for my remaining freedoms, I kept coming back in my mind to certain things. To current events, and of how many of us have come to the point of being afraid of our government. I think it was Thomas Jefferson who once said that "a government big enough to give you everything, is big enough to take it away", it seems we have forgotten that. Becoming complacent and overly trusting of our elected officials to take into account the will of the people.
I had once wanted to join the Air Force. I love airplanes, and who has the biggest and best planes? That's right, the US Air force! Life being what it was, and me being the young wild child I was, I ended up meeting my husband and almost immediately thereafter becoming pregnant. ( don't judge!)
Fast forward 10 years and 5 kids later...and here I am.
Older, somewhat wiser and more ready then ever to join the Air force...what's stopping me? Hmmm. Fear of being sent over seas to defend a foreign country? Maby. Fear of being bound to follow orders my ethics might not allow, definitely.
I believe the shit-ith will hit-ith soon, and God help anyone who tries to hurt or intimidate my family, beause I will defend to the end.
If our troops were to return to the USA imagine how many of them we would have home, to defend their land and their family. I guess wars ain't what they once were though, so my romantic notion is just that.
Now a days with a push of a button or two, total ultimate irreversible world chaos could ensue. Or hell, we could just collapse the dollar. Ha ha, O wait...too late.
Thank you Veterans for risking your life and limb for liberty, and to some for paying the ultimate price. I am sure you realize more then most, the price of freedom. So THANK YOU today and everyday.
