Today, we remember the sacrifices of servicemen and servicewomen who fought to protect the freedom of our country.
A freedom that some can forget with the negativity of the modern world
A freedom that some can dismiss in the depths of individual problems
A freedom that some can take for granted amongst the bickering of politics
A freedom which some can downplay by those of us who are lucky enough to only encounter war from afar through a screen
Their sacrifices allow us to not only live, but to live as we choose to. We are all guilty of taking it for granted at times, but I try and be grateful for the life I’m able to lead.
Today we all take stock of our own lives and give thanks. We do so with 3 simple words, in our minds and in our hearts.
Lest we forget
