I've been dealing with a cold the past three days. Today, I felt the most exhausted of the three. I'm certainly hoping that I don't feel this way tomorrow. Especially considering how I feel, I am even more grateful that I am not one of the people who was asked to work today.
Today we remember those who gave the final measure of devotion to our country. They often fought on foreign fields, were exhausted, and would have preferred to be home. I am also glad that I am not one of those so chosen, and that there were those who were braver than me whose sacrifice allowed me to have the life that I have chosen.
