Please remember why....

we have a free, beautiful, proud, and wonderful place to live called America. Please thank a solider, firefighter, and police officer today for giving up so much for a complete stranger. Please remember the ones you love and don't be afraid to tell them that. Please remember those that have gone before us and keep them in your heart always.
I'm thankful for my husband who risks his life everyday knowing that there is a chance that one day he may not come home and I thank God in protecting him and giving him the heart to protect others he doesn't even know. I love you honey....always and forever.
Please take a moment today and remember 8 years ago. Please.......never forget.
**Edit** I was reading your responses and YES how can I forget my dispatchers too..I was one for many years and left the job when I got pregnant with my kids. My apologies to them...I know the job they do and the demands of it as well. For many years, I had my husbands back in a different way and now I depend on them to take care of him when I can't. Thank you.

Give your DH a hug from Ontario just because, to have the inner want to step out on the line everyday to protect and serve is so under rated. Oh, heck, hug him again and say a quiet Thank you for me. Thanks. Be Safe, Be Proud and be always in stitches.

DH is a PO as well. I thank him all the time--especially today. He was working the evening of 9/11/01. What a terrifying day that was for us all.

Beautiful post and please tell your DH how much I appreciate how he serves and protects us. I will never forget 9-11, nor the men and women who lost their lives so needlessly.
