Veterans Day, 11/11/2010.

Last night I was at Zach's house, because we were watching movies ... band geeks.
We decided to watch "Taken", which I've only seen 7,000 times: but I absolutely love that movie. I never really thought about it, but Leah happened to bring it to my attention, that we don't have sex trafficking / human trafficking in America.


& I realized that I'm relally thankful for or veterans to be fighting for us like that.

My grandpa was in the war (I'm honestly not sure which one ...), my friend Garrett just left for training, my best friends dad is in the army, and my uncles have all served in the marines. I never really thought about how special that is, but looking at America, I realize it now.


I'm thankful that we dont have trafficking here, because we have people fighting for rights. I'm thankful we can have freedom of religion, because we have people fighting for our rights. I'm so thankful we have freedom of speech, freedom to petition, freedom to protest, and freedom of the press: because we have people fightng for our rights.




I'm thankful for America, and the freedom we have. I hear alot of people (Yes, I've said it once myself as well) saying "I HATE AMERICA. WHY CANT I LIVE IN LIKE CANADA OR SOMETHING?" But you know what? America may not be perfect, but if you think about it, we have people trying to do whats best FOR US. Not alot of places have that you know.




So anyways, I'm very thankful for our veterans, and those who have/are serving. I send a prayer to the families who have lost family members in the war, as those were brave hearts. Again I say: thank you veterans!



"My contry 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims pride, from every mountain side: let freedom ring".
