The Soldier We Remember

We stop for a second, maybe a minute, to remember those who have lost their lives fighting battles for all of us and those who have cried for help.

Think for a moment about the entirety.
The strive to step up and take the oath to serve our nation.
The strength to leave everything they have ever known, their family, their friends and to get through the rigorous training for us.
The endurance to push through the hard days and nights that battles bring upon them for us.
The love they show when they talk to their families as if nothing is wrong; it is barely even a battle, they say. Just an ongoing party fest with their fellow soldiers, nothing to see here, they say to bring peace to their loved ones.
The commitment to push every day to keep going.
That moment of courage to take their last breath in battle to save their fellow men and women. To save men, women, children, a nation.

So this weekend, don’t walk by that veteran with a nonchalant “thank you for your service.” Thank them for their sacrifice. Understand the losses they have witnessed. Understand they were there for the battle, and they are in mourning—not only on Memorial Day but every day for the rest of their lives. The memories do not leave them. If you know of a family that has lost a soldier, be sincerely understanding of what I just said.

Stop for a moment if you are one of those individuals who say, “Well, they chose this.” You are right about that. The attitude you wrongly and horrifically display is almost sinful. The word, emotion, and expression that you should be seeking daily for those men and women is **gratitude**. So stop for a moment, reach out of your self-bubble, and be among the people for the day with gratitude.

I am truly and sadly sorry for the losses felt across this nation today. I can’t imagine getting that knock on the door or that phone call that said he or she wasn’t coming home. The sons. The daughters. The fathers. The mothers. The family member who will not be at that BBQ or that beachside or lakeside gathering. May God be with you, healing your hearts, giving you the strength, courage and love to endure. May you see that little reminder that assures you they are okay and watching you from heaven. You are loved. You are honored and we thank you for the sacrifice of your soldiers.

Many blessings this Memorial Weekend and Day

Hope all the mothers have a blessed and beautiful Mother's Day!

On this day, we think about a hero named Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He shared a beautiful dream where all people are treated with kindness, no matter what they look like on the outside. We can help his dream grow by making friends with everyone and always lending a hand.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and fulfilling 2026!

Let’s take time to appreciate the little things and enjoy simple pleasures. May our enthusiasm for life be more vibrant than ever. Let’s seek out new adventures, even in familiar places. May we aim for our best health, both mentally and physically. Let’s celebrate those who inspire us to grow, encourage us to be adventurous, and motivate us to pursue our goals and truly enjoy life.

With warm wishes, we share this hope and blessing for the year ahead.

Remember to come see us in 2026! Let us work together on these goals!!

Thank you to all the men and women who have served.
Jose A. Anon and so many others. We are free because you served.

We will never forget. We need to remember that this is a fantastic country. So many woke up and never made it home. Rescue workers ran in, while others ran away; some of them never made it home.

Remember those that were lost.

Monday is about those who fought hard; yet, didn't make it home. They fought for you. They fought for us. They fought for the United States of America. Remember to take the time to bow your head and give them the respect they deserve.

Take a moment or silence...
This is what I say in my moment of silence, you don't have to. Take a moment to give the respect your way
We am sorry to those who fought among those who didn't make it home. We can't imagine the pain of those memories and we are sorry you continue to see it in your mind. We are sorry to those who are missing loved ones. To those who keep listening to the last message they left or continue to pay that cell phone bill, just to hear their voices in the message. We are sorry so many ignore what it means for soldiers who make a choice to serve; knowing they may not make it home.

Happy Memorial Day means we are happy that you honored us with your strength, your courage and your sacrifice.
