Our military personnel deserve the same respect we expect to receive from others. They have made choices in their lives to serve our country and, in essence, serve all of us.
When someone has not served, it can be difficult to understand the sacrifices made by our soldiers and their families. These tours of duty can be extended time away from family, physically and emotionally draining and devastating to those whose loved one gave all for our freedoms.
We can debate the battles they fight, the purpose of certain things and many other circumstances around how our military is used across the world or on our own soil, but remember, our men and women in the military have lost their lives while defending our ability to have these debates.
Let's Consider this Perspective: Our military personnel deserve the same respect we expect to receive from others. They have made choices in their lives to serve our country and, in essence, serve all of us. They deserve to be honored.
I think we all should communicate and show our sincere thanks for those whom we have lost and their families, as well as the ones who have put themselves in harm's way. They have made sacrifices and experienced hardships we may never understand.
In today's world there is much conflict as we all struggle to understand the people around us. It is important to listen and learn from each other as we seek to understand, instead of seeking to judge.
