Military Heroes.....

Today there is a fundraising event to raise money for the Veteran's Wall of Valor in downtown Bakersfield (my hometown). It will honor local fallen heroes. I find that it is so important that these brave men and women never be forgotten. I once was a military wife and met many people who served our country. Thankfully those we knew well always made it back home safely after a deployment. Not a day goes by that I don't think about all the soldiers who are currently deployed and defending our country. And their families should not be overlooked either. Military families may not be deployed, but their hearts are. They are our country's silent heroes. So as we continue to live our busy and hectic lives, take a minute to think about all the sacrifices soldiers and their families have made for our country.

“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.”- Douglas MacArthur
