Today I honor all three of my grandfathers who were in the Army, Air Force, & Marines. Thankfully they got to come home and I grew up sitting in their laps and being spoiled rotten by them as they would say.

But I pause and remember all those who we lost at war, giving their all for our freedom. My grandfathers gave a lot and so many have. It’s really unfathomable for those of us who have not served in the military and have only known civilian life. Today as we barbecue, take time off work and are with our families, let’s pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives for us to be able to enjoy freedom and all the fun we have today with those we love, let it be in celebration of the beautiful lives who gave us this privilege of freedom and life as we know it.
