Tonight I feel a bit animated; like I have more energy than I should at this point in the day. I was all ready to go to class, and I showed up to the building and realized that school was closed because today is Veteran's Day. The funny thing is that I knew that it was a holiday, but I didn't associate the day's significance with the schedule of my school. Either way, I send my prayers and thoughts to those who fight and serve in the U.S. military. I tip my hat to their cause, and their unwavering obedience. I've always explained that even if I could, I don't believe I'd have enough guts to be a part of the armed forces that fight for our freedoms. Though I'd like to be a pillar of good judgment and opinion as far as being a patriotic American, I've grown up being used to catering to an unspeakable respect for military personnel. My grandfather served, my uncle served, and my cousin David is serving as we speak. I may not understand what it takes to be a soldier in the United States army, but I'm well equipped when it comes to understanding the sacrifices they make and the creeds they fight for. I'm satisfied and humbled with just being a supportive patriot of the American cause. Much Repspect.

  1. I always prayed that I would raise you with a big heart and that I would teach you by my actions to have respect for those who deserve respect. Your writing and your posts have shown me that I have accomplished my job. Thank you Lord for answered prayers. I love you John
