Today – 11.11.11 –<\/p>\n
I pause to honor those who have served and can still celebrate their moments.<\/p>\n
I honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service of our freedom – they honor all those who stand, remembering, by their “last full measure of devotion.”<\/p>\n
Today I’m dressed in my best suit.\u00a0 Today I will dance. Today I will reflect.\u00a0 And then I’ll address some envelopes and prepare to mail letters of thanks and appreciation to soldiers deployed to danger zones.<\/p>\n
May we…always remember and honor those who serve.<\/p>\n
