The real heros of America

Let me just give a quick "Thank you." to all the military men and women who defend our country, and our freedom on a daily basis. My brother-in-law used to be special ops. until just recently. He has sacrifices so much to serve our country. So has his family. He is CONSTANTLY away from his wife and five kids. He misses out on the kids' firsts, games, plays, awards....childhoods. His wife (my sister) is basically a single parent with five kids. She does the daily track meets, soccer games, dance classes, piano lessons...and then the twins have speech therapy, and Dr. appointments on top of all that. We can very easily forget or not realize how much our military sacrifices for us to make our country safe...and give us more relief. We can very easily overlook how much their families sacrifice as well.

I am slightly relived (and skeptical) about the news of "one less terrorist". Also, I am saddened by America's behavior as a whole about this issue. I remember 9/11 VERY clearly. I remember them dancing in the streets celebrating the many deaths of Americans. I also remember EVERYONE was appalled by the lack of respect. At how anyone could celebrate the death of another human....yet, I saw this in our own towns when the news broke. I am sad because a man lost his life, and will most likely spend eternity in hell. I can't be happy at the thought anyone will be separated from the heavenly father...I wish this on no man. It is not for us as humans to judge...but for God.
