Remembering Real Heroes

In about a week Freedom Fest will be celebrated.  It honors our troops who have served in the past, to those who continue to serve currently and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.  Our troops are the true heroes in our nation.  They deserve respect, prayers, and praise regardless of what you may think of current or past wars.  Our troops are on the front lines defending us at home and internationally.  I have some history in my family when it comes to serving and friends who have served.  My uncle served in Korea, my brother is a Marine; now a police officer in DC.  I have had friends serve in the Gulf War and in the Iraq War.  I have met so many over the years with amazing stories and my heart goes out to all of you.  Many times the stories have brought me to tears.  I ALWAYS go up to soliders and say, ‘Thank you for serving’.  All of us should do it!  How could you not say thanks?  GOD BLESS ALL our troops, past and present.  I hope to see a big turn out July 3rd in Spring Valley, MN.  See you there!
