Thankful... Redux

The "Thankful Thursday" for this week should have been titled, Thankful for FREEDOM.  It should have said for #'s 1-10 that I am thankful for all the men and women who currently are and the ones who have in the past, sacrificed their lives for my FREEDOM.  For the ones who bravely put themselves on the line day in and day out.  Thank you.  I am grateful to be an American. 

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
