Choose To Serve
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve- Albert Schweitzer
Service: An act of assistance or benefit; a favor
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about our brave men and women in the trenches defending my right to express opinions, and live in a democracy, to pursue my happiness and my right to be free. While I comfortably write this blog in a plush leather chair that I literally sink into, The men and women of our armed forces are fighting for their very lives under extreme and dangerous conditions that "most" of us have only seen in the movies. Many of these brave individuals are alone in this world with noone to remember them and noone waiting for them when they get back. Just think about this for a minute. The soldiers are all gathered around their tents and mail is called, yet John or Steve's name is not called...Why? Because noone is there except for their brothers and sisters in arms...
When was the last time you said thanks to someone in our armed forces for their courage, fortitude, their valor. Sure on Veterans Day everyone jumps on the band wagon, but how about a week after, a month later, a year down the line on no particular day for no particular reason except that you genuinely care and they deserve to hear it. What are you doing right now to make the life of our soldiers just a little more tolerable? Our soldiers are such twentyfour hours a day and seven days a week. Do you know that a care package or a little note can go a long way in reminding them how much you truly appreciate their service.
While we sleep snug in our cozy homes quite possibly surrounded by family and friends that love us. We have fresh clothes and baths at our disposal as well as smiles, hugs and all the things that make life worth living. Our soldiers are in harms way fighting to ensure that the world is a better place to live in.
In less than seven weeks we will be ushering in a new year. Many of us will jot down resolutions and make plans to ensure our successful future. Why don't you do something a little different this time around. How about pledging to reach out to our military. Maybe you can volunteer or become a Pen Pal or maybe you can reconnect with a family member who is serving or served. It doesn't matter in what capacity you choose to serve as long as you serve.
