Happy Memorial Day! Thank you for this post. Means a lot coming from a beautiful woman such as yourself. I’ve been in the marines for 20 years. I’ve watched a lot of friends die and I’ve had to witness more. I’m will bleed for the red, white and blue and forever defend this nation. I will take a bullet and even a bomb for my people. Thank you for this great post.
