4th of July

As I grow older I become more and more aware of how lucky I am to have been born in America. I guess being a military wife helps with that as well, but I feel it's also with age. My mind can't wrap around the injustices so many people in the world continue to face on a daily basis, much less all the horrors the world has seen in previous years. Living in America your whole life, it is so easy to take for granted the liberties some people still don't have. I also can't wrap my brain around how many people fought with all their might and literally gave their lives so that the dream of freedom could become a reality. Although I sometimes like to put my blinders on and think my hubby's enlistment is just a job and involves nothing more, in my heart I know it's much deeper than that.  Our men and women in the military literally work every day towards the protection of our liberties. Whether some days are mundane or hectic from 4 am until their head hits the pillow late at night, we civilians depend on them to be able to continue our way of life.

I'm so proud to be married to one of America's hero's. :) I sure am I lucky girl! And we are all lucky to be able to call America our home!
