Christmas Remember those who Serve

[Kat]

Another Christmas has come, another year is ending. As we sit comfortably in our homes all warm, and with cheer, Please remember those who can not this year. Can not be home, or home with family and friends. This is the time we celebrate with those we love, but many can not. Remember those service members who fight for us, our freedom, and our way of life. We may not agree with why they are in certain places, we may want to lay blame somewhere, please do not blame the service members for believing in something greater than themselves, believing in something to make our lives better at home. Many service member do not even know who "you" are but to them it does not matter. You are a citizen of the United States and they will fight to keep our borders safe. So during this time of season greetings keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Remember to say thank you to those who have served, who are serving and those who will serve. If we did not have those men and women who sacrifice so much to protect those they do not even know where would we be? They do not ask to be thanked, they do not think it is a necessity, but still they deserve it. So, even if you can not donate time or money to organizations. A thank you is all that is needed, showing gratitude for what they do. Sacrificing, they willingly give up their lives, but they also bear the time when they must be away from their homes and families. Just show a warm thought this season and thank a service member, hand them a card, make them a batch of cookies, give them a hug. It is all appreciated.
