Today is my birthday. Facebook and Twitter have been beeping with family and friends wishing me a happy birthday and THANK YOU. My birthday has never fallen this close to Memorial Day. As I have gotten older I am more appreciative of the work and sacrifice of others. People that have lost their lives for standing up for what their country called them for. People that have changed their lives for others and people that I have looked up to. I am blessed with a wonderful wife, a son that I am more that proud of and a daughter that I love incredibly.
All I really want for my birthday at any time is total happiness AND I HAVE THAT!!
Do me a favor don't get me a gift but if you see a VETERAN, A SERVICE PERSON say "THANK YOU" buy them a beer, pay for their lunch. There service is more valuable than anything.
