~RESPECT FOR THOSE IN UNIFORM~

Hello Again,

The other day as Mom and I were leaving the mall we happened to pass two men well dressed in their army uniforms. As soon as we reached the car and out of earshot of the two, Mom made the comment that she almost felt obligated to salute them. I told her that I had the same unique gut feeling to say something, or shake their hands, or somehow show them how much we appreciate their volunteer efforts for our country.  On the way home we discussed how often it seems that the news brings up all the negative outlooks on the war and our men and women fighting for our country, and significantly less the positive actions and comments that are given and recognized. If the news won't give our men and women in uniform the respect and honor that they deserve, shouldn't we start showing our gratitude by at least saying "thank you" when passing by? Just something I've been pondering the last few days.

Ok, I'm tired. Have a lovely day!
