But, these days are not for everyone. For they are not free . As the summer and fall wears on, remember that these veterans are still serving. We, as Americans, veterans or not, should contact our government officials and try harder to resolve this terrible situation that has gone on far too long. Being held against your will and without contact with your loved ones is just that stark and scary.
People seem to forget that the freedom to walk down the street or in the malls is taken for granted.
Just being able to write, speak and even to think is freedom. That is taken for granted. But, someone paid the price for that freedom. Veterans have paid, sometimes the ultimate price and sacrifice to let us be free. It is written that the nation that forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten.
