Today we honor all the men and women who have seved our country in the armed forces. Preservation of our freedoms is a noble cause, and I would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to all our vets. Included in that group are my brother-in-law, Chad Johnson, father (deceased), W.A. "Tex" Johnson, and father-in-law (deceased), Gilbert Metz.
Freedom is not free, and we need to all remember that freedom comes with responsibilities. We who have not fought for our freedom need to honor our vets, but also uphold that responsibility to allow others the freedoms we enjoy.
Finally, our hearts all go out to the victims and their families from Fort Hood. Our men and women in uniform are not the only ones who pay the price, because they have families and other loved ones who either deal with their loved one's wounds or loss, neither of which is easy. So thank you to the families of our service men and women, because you also are making a sacrifice.
