Sometimes I will end the day with thoughts that are
important to get out. Usually I just
write them and put them in my journal folder.
I have chosen that on occasion I will share them with you Dear Reader.
I have friends, family, and students in the military. Most of them have served over seas during the
last decade. I know one family who has
three sons serving. I would be remiss in
my responsibilities is I did not take a moment to say thank you to those who
serve so I can do as I please.
In that thinking I want to mention something that I think we
do not realize as fully as we should.
Even those who seem just fine on their return home may not be so. We need to insist that in every aspect of
life we honor and care for our veterans.
We must assure that society welcomes them home and demands that their
needs are met.
They need time, jobs, education, and constant gratitude in
the form of us being good to them. There
is no statute of limitations on the debt we owe people who put themselves in
the line of fire for us. We need to care
for them and their families as if they are our own. They are.
To those I know, I thank you for your service. I thank you for your sacrifice. I thank your families. I will remember.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store."
