WWHHhooaa!...huge Memorial Day Post clarification

I have to clarify what I wrote this morning or else I won't be able to sleep tonight.  :)  So just ignore this if you didn't interpret this as I just did as I reread my post from earlier this morning.  Yikes!  I wrote (or I at least meant to write...which has now been edited) about wanting "to be better"...the way it was written it sounded like I think I can do better than those in "uniform."  That is absolutley NOT how I feel...their sacrifice is SO great, SO extraordinary, that I feel totally inadequate with what I can offer...that I am completely in their debt for the life of freedom I enjoy...that I need to DO SOMETHING with these blessings that they've made possible.  I feel inspired by this day of reverence to be a better person...I feel that as I strive for that I honor them best.   This movie inspired me because I often think about how I can contribute more specifically.   While watching it I felt overwhelmed with the thought of celebrating "life" more... testifying more of the life of the Savior, of the reality of His resurrection... being "here" and "present" more in "life" for those that are in need.  President Monson has an AMAZING ability to be there for people.  He is a special witness of the Savior and that HE LIVES and that those that have passed on will also, once again,  LIVE.   This movie is just one more account of how our Prophet celebrates life...and with watching it I felt urged to "be better".  We don't all get the opportunity to be on the "battlefront,"  but then again, we do...

Oh boy!  And now I am going to go to bed so I can think better tomorrow!  :)

I didn't read it the way you thought you wrote it. I thought your tribute was and is heartfelt. Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays because it gives us an opportunity to really reflect on those who have served our country on our behalf.
