Sacrifice

Sacrifices are made everyday with the men and women who serve our country making the greatest sacrifice of all. Quite a few of them have paid with their lives.
Many men and women have made great sacrifices to ensure that the united states of America is protected and free. Many have died surviving their country while others have been wounded whether minor or major.

Having family members in the military is not easy. Not knowing if there is going to be that call saying that loved one was killed while serving their country.  Nobody wants to have a family member coming home from overseas in a flag draped coffin.

I have family and friends are currently in or had been in military. It was and still is never easy seeing how changed they were before they left compared to when they came home. Life is very different  after coming home. The change may not be seen right away but with time it is seen.

There are countless ways to thank them and helping one of many. Something as simple as making dinner or taking their kids to school makes a big difference whether it is realized or not. It is the little things that matter and count the most.
