As the proud daughter of a U.S. Marine, my love of our country is part of my genetic makeup. When my daughter Grace brought home her essay from school: “What Does A Veteran Mean To Me?” my heart melted.
I thought Memorial Day weekend would be the perfect time to share her words with you below.
and their loved ones.
your friends and teachers,
and even your enemies.
Memorial Day is an important day for all Americans. It’s the day we stop and take a moment amidst our picnics and family barbecues, to breathe a prayer of thanks for all who are serving in our military.
So, from our family to all who are serving, all who have sons and daughters, fathers and mothers in the armed forces, we say thank you from the bottom of our grateful American hearts.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Psalm 33:12
