100 Post Marathon #37
Frank Buckles is the last surviving veteran of World War I. I hope you are humbled, as I am, by his words. While Memorial Day is a day to remember those who have died in service to our country, it doesn’t hurt to remember those like Mr. Buckles, who may only be with us a short time longer.
h/t: Dave in Texas at Ace of Spades who said,
I hope we remember what they gave us. I hope it keeps us focused upon what those who serve now give us.
I will wager a paycheck that most of you have someone in your world, who does this. Day in, day out. About to deploy, or back from one.
What they do, or did, is so much. They loved you and our country with their very bodies, and their souls (and boxers). It’s that.
God keep them.
Amen.
