Project Gratitude - Day 11

Day 11 -

Okay, so today my 2 thankful points are being combined as one for this special Veteran's Day gratitude. I am so thankful for all those who have fought, past and present, to create and preserve the freedoms I so often take for granted. All throughout history, lives have been sacrificed, children have lost fathers and mothers, parents have lost children, all for this country...I am so grateful for those who have had the courage to fight, I don't think I would have that courage. So, rather than one specific person, I am grateful for all those who serve and have served in the armed forces. I am especially thankful for the ones in my family who have stepped up to serve this country. Though there are several in my family there is one in particular I am thinking of today:

I never got to know him, but today I remember my uncle, Victor "Chief" Lopez who gave his life in Vietnam.
