I wanted to share my apologies with fans that I haven’t been
as active as I normally am in reviewing the great romance novels that have been
released recently. Life has become very
busy and complicated lately, with a mother in rehab for hip replacement surgery,
new puppies being born to the family, and a major project as work coming in to
the finish line just under the wire. But
I am proud to share my happiness and express my love for the books I have been
reading and am glad to be able to get back to share my thoughts and
passions.
To turn over a new leaf I am reminding everyone of the
important holiday that will be hitting the US tomorrow. VETERAN’S DAY!
The history of veteran’s day is very interesting and something you
should all look into, but the most important part of today is recognizing those
who have given their lives in proud service to keep us all safe.
As a member of a large and proud military family, I just wanted to
extend my thanks and well wishes to all who have served, on this special
day. Not only has every service branch
been represented in my family one way or another, but the legacy of proud military
services goes back generations. I am
proud to say I currently have my brother serving actively in the Air force and
his wife, my sister-in-law, just moved from active duty into the reserves. Along with them I have several retired and
deceased veterans in my family as well.
Whether you agree with the politics behind decisions made about
our military or not, honoring those who proudly serve should be something you
always devote yourself to and not just on this one day a year. But as this day is set up as a special day, I
am going to honor those military friends and family I have with a special
shout-out. I am proud of them all and love them immensely for all they
sacrifice for us all.
So if you know a military member, or just see one on the streets,
stop for a moment and offer your thanks to them. Remember that for them a single thank you can
often remind them the reasons that they enlisted in the first place and
brighten their lives and service time just a little bit.
I also encourage you to donate to these wonderful military members
in whatever way you can. Time, care
packages or simply thank you cards are always welcome for a soldier far from
home (or even ones stationed statesideJ). www.supportourtroops.org/ is a great place to start if you’re not personally acquainted but would
like to extend thanks to a military member.
Have a great Veteran’s day all!
Many Blessings,
Michelle
