Every year on this day and memorial day, I go for a run, rain or shine, in the old pair of camo pants that I was issued 13 years ago in my JROTC class.
They are torn and faded and definitely not acceptable as a BDU anymore.
Many of my family members and friends have served both here and abroad and the action is the most sacred salute I can offer.
With #ehlersdanlos, running is very difficult for me but a skill that I am committed to maintaining as long as possible. To be able to run TOWARD danger and challenges...rather than away from them.
Like our service men and women have done and do - daily.
I am dedicated to doing what I can to make the most of my freedom that I am thankful for...and to stay ready for the fights necessary to make it count every day.
A heartfelt thank you to those who - past and present - that have sacrificed in service to our great nation.
I don't know that there is anything that I can do in honor of what you've given/give to deserve it.
Sanity, lives, and limbs have been lost on behalf of the freedoms that my family and community enjoy --
Here's to making the most of all of it and hope those actions inspire others to do the same.
"Earn this"
With the pain of every long hill ran and heavy weight lifted, the perseverance of every person uplifted, and the conscious choice to become better when it would be very easy to curl up content and comfortable instead...
I am working on it.
