Good morning my DU family, [View all]

As I wake up to a beautiful morning, I am of course chastened by the knowledge that so many laid down their lives just so I could.

As we remember all who paid the ultimate price, I, along many of you, have family members currently in harms way in the Middle East. My nephew is on a ship as a Marine.

I have been praying that our service members currently serving don't have to die for this particular cause so that they may protect our tomorrow as well.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to honor those who sacrificed everything for our rights and freedoms, with our gratitude reaching every corner of our Universe.

Have a treasured day DU.
Love, John
