It's Ironic....

It's Memorial Day weekend. A time when we honor those who gave their lives or their souls so we can live in freedom. I don't like war and I find it hard to support the causes, especially in some cases. But I need to understand it, we all do. Here are people who value their freedom so much that they would die for it. People who can understand the reasoning for war and think enough of me, without even meeting me, to protect me and my freedoms. People who don't look at Americans as who is illegal or who is not, who is guilty and who is innocent. They see America, a country as a whole, the best in the world, and they will do anything in their power to keep it that way. A true and pure love and dedication for their home.

So it seems ironic that people would die to keep us free yet some will take away our freedoms while still calling themselves Americans. Clotheslines, for example. (Who saw that coming? :) It seems like a slap in the face to those who have given so much to keep us free.

I will probably never understand war but will take the time to think of those who have lost everything to let me keep my freedom to not understand. And not just on one day a year, everyday, and in everything I do....
