I live in an area that houses two bases from two different branches of the military.
It’s not easy to forget about the sacrifice that our soldiers are making. In fact, I’ve taught students who had parents serving tours of duty in the Middle East.
On this 4th of July, I thought I would post a video for the Dixie Chicks’s song, Traveling Soldier.
The words of this song never fail to bring tears to my eyes…especially more so now because my friend, Jane, lost her first husband to the Vietnam War.
So, while we’re busy barbecuing with family and watching the night skies light up with brilliant flashes of color, let us never forget those serving all around the world, lighting up the skies in a much different way and often making the ultimate sacrifice…their lives.
