May is
Military Appreciation Month
This very important month
honors, remembers, recognizes and appreciates
all
military personnel;
those men and women
who have served throughout our history
and
all who now serve in uniform
and
their families
as well as those Americans
who have given their lives
in defense of our freedoms we all enjoy today.
The military has been a part of my life
since I was nineteen....
that's almost half of my life!
Over these years,
I have seen the sacrifices made by our
service men and women.
Over. and. over. again.
And, at this moment,
I'm thinking that the word appreciate
doesn't seem to be quite adequate...
doesn't quite cover all the emotions
that I feel for our military.
So I'm going to add:
admire,
applaud,
esteem,
praise,
respect,
honor,
and
treasure
MONTH!
There is one service man in particular,
a certain
CPT. Charles Lamar Mallard,
who I especially
appreciate,
and I want to
heap upon him all of the other
accolades above!
But there is a word left off that list...
one that is especially reserved
for this very special man.
Charlie,
I
appreciate
and
LOVE
you...

during this month
and
always!
