Gratitude Project Day 7

Today is  National Purple Heart Day -  a time for Americans to pause, to remember and honor the brave men and women who were either wounded (physically and/or emotionally) on the battlefield or paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.

So in honor of National Purple Heart day-- no matter if you received a purple heart or  not... I am thankful for those in service no matter if it was those from the past or today or for those to come in the future ...  this is a calling like no other... Because true freedom is actually never free.. our soldiers pay the debt for our safety and security along with their families...  

So I honor you today and everyday...
