Today is not for us, rather for those we wish we could share the day with still. Below are the brothers and sisters I think of every year. Please share yours.

Tonight I was lucky enough to give my sweet Lucy her bottle and put her to sleep after being away for 2 weeks. As I tried to move I felt as though Thor's hammer was on my lap. I could feel her breathing and the thump of her little heart beat. I was overwhelmed with love and i just sat there until my arm and leg went numb filled with love.

As I got up and placed her in the crib I gave thanks to the fallen who have offered my daughter the right to an education and to be free to follow any religion she chooses. She will grow up in a country where she will not be denied the right to vote or required to be covered or placed in an arranged marriage. As my daughter is only 9 months old I will give thanks on her behalf and my behalf to those who have sacrificed their lives for my daughter and the millions they didn't know and I will do my best to honor them and respect their sacrifice.

Let us remember and give thanks on this Memorial Day Weekend.

I don't know anybody personally who paid the ultimate price but I will be standing a flag line with the Patriot Guard Riders.
