"I'm here America"

Veterans Day, something that everyone might take for granted, but to those of us who are in the military community. It's a day to remember those of your loved ones you lost or the ones who are currently serving as well as those who happen to be veterans and who make an impact on your life everyday.
The interesting thing today after checking up on a lot of status on facebook was a dear friend of mine, whose boyfriend happens to be in Korea. She stated the one phrase that has tugged at my heart strings. "Thank you for unselfishly saying "I'm here" when America needs you." Is the one phrase that she stated. My eyes misted up for the simple factor that this is something that all loved ones live with on a daily basis. That simple unselfish commitment of "yes I am here America," when they called upon you to serve. I am honored to be surrounding by men and women in my life who have done just that. I feel almost unworthy sometimes to be in their lives for the simple unselfish act. My heart goes out to those in my life who have stood up to invading or threating acts of violence to America and said, "No, I will not allow this." Or how Patrick Henry once stated, "Don't Tread on me!" This statement is one that rings out when the US may call these men and women to duty.

So a personal Thank you: Mark Waters (My amazing Husband whose heart is worth more than his weight in gold!), My father Jim Williams, my little brother in law Paul Waters, my father-in-law Mike Waters, my brother Eric Williams, Aaron Trimble, Michael Bell, Joshua Sasser, John Brewer, Jacob Rouse, Matt Garvin, Jarod Peters, Joshua Laabs, Brandi & Kent Bergeron, as well as many others! Thank you for making that unselfish commitment!
