Remember Those Who Serve

This is Steven Petrick posting.

It is the season of friends and family. Most of us would wish that it was that season all year round, but it cannot be. Worse, even as we gather with those of our own circles, men and women are still in Harm's way seeking to keep those who would change the world in ways most of us would abhor at a distance.

As you gather with friends and family, remember that during this time the police, fire departments, EMTs, and yes soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, and coast guards are out there, often in unpleasant weather and many of them among complete strangers, providing you with the opportunity to enjoy the season.

So take some time to give a thought to all those who have chosen a life of service that you might enjoy friends and family.
