A friend forwarded me this link that has some of the best videos on YouTube.  It’s a series of videos of dogs’ reactions when their owners return from deployment.  There’s also a (very, very powerful) video of some soldiers surprising their kids with an unexpected return home.  They are some very amazing videos.

To all you soldiers and families who dedicate your lives to fighting for and protecting freedom, thank you.  I don’t think any of us here at home could possibly say that enough.

Thomas Jefferson said “the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”  May we always be vigilant in protecting and defending our freedom.  Happy Veterans Day.

On this holiday, I’d just like to challenge you to read the full text of the Declaration of Independence and think about what the signers were doing.  It was an in-your-face rebellion against their King.

I wonder how many enjoying the independence they declared would be brave enough to do the same thing.
