Take the Time

Today is about remembering the family, friends, strangers who fought for our freedom, safety, and ideologies.

So why is it so difficult for some to respect PA announcements requesting we take one or two minutes of silence to honor those who served?  A few will even complain that their work or play, or personal time has been disrupted.  My goodness, folks: stop being so bloody selfish and consider where you’d be if others hadn’t offered to sacrifice their lives—for you.

Take the time to offer soundless gratitude for all that you have in your life, because if battles hadn’t been won, you can bet you’d not be enjoying all the things you have today.  Count your blessings.  And offer silent, heartfelt thanks.

Let’s never grow indifferent, and above all, let's never forget.
