For those who have a loved one in the Military

In my Mommy Group there was a discussion raised what does freedom mean to you? I had a hard time answering this question actually.
Then a member told me her sister is diligent in thanking service women and men. She asked if Rick gets thanked a lot and how does it make him feel.

So I ask you does your spouse get thanked a lot? Do people say anything to you? How does your husband react to the appreciation?

Things to ponder...

* A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.

* How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark
to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?

* Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many
people a company can operate without.

* Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else
looks?

* Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.

* No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.

* There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM.
It could be a right number.

* No one ever says, "It's only a game," when his team is winning.

* Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.

* The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.

* If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at
all.

* Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.

* I've reached the age where happy hour is a nap.

* Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.

* The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size
bucket.

* To err is human, to forgive -- highly unlikely.

* Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies
running around with tattoos? This is way scary.

* Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry
in a Corvette than in a Yugo.

* After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you
are probably dead.
