have you forgotten?!

i will never ever forget the people that lost their lives that day, and the families that lost their love ones and had to carry on without them.. i will never forget those that have lost their lives due to this war, nor will i forget their friends and families. i could never even imagine what any of them have have ever had to go through and i pray every day that i never will have to. when i think back to how ignorant i was before i married rey it almost makes me sick. yes, whenever i heard about a military member's death i'd be like 'oh that's sad.. that sucks,' but now, my heart absolutely breaks and i feel so indebted to them for making the ultimate sacrifice and my heart also breaks for the friends and family who now have to go on every single day with the knowledge that they wont ever get to see, hear, or talk to that person until the next life. yes, sometimes i too feel like this war is unnecessary, but it makes me sick to see all those people that don't support our soldiers and our troops and have rallys and all that horrible stuff. these are men and women who have families that miss and think about them every single day yet they go so unappreciated! my challenge is to think more about those men and women who serve our country, and remember them in your prayers each and every night because they could definitely use them, as well as your support no matter what your opinions on the war may be! also, next time you see a man or woman in uniform to go up and thank them for their service..

peace in the middle east,
