Today is the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. It marks the day when our country went to war, when boys became men, when girls became women, men became heroes, and the world was changed. Everyday, I am so grateful to live in this free nation. It is not perfect, but I firmly believe it is the best that fallible man can create and govern. I am honored to support my husband as he serves, and glad to be able to raise my son here in this land of heroes.
"Uncommon Valor was a Common Virtue" ~ Admiral Chester Nimitz, when speaking of the Marines at Iwo Jima
According to the dictionary, a hero is: "a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities." This is one of the things I pray for my son most, that he would be a man of action, not of cheap words, and he would be courageous. It is good to have such examples of that is this great country.
