Motivational Monday~ My Hero

Tonight, I watched one of the most emotional movies

 that I think I have ever seen.

It has touched me in the most profound way. 

 I wish that every person would take 

the time to watch this movie.

HONOR FLIGHT~ONE LAST MISSION 

It reminds us that we have an Amazing Legacy

that is still here and we need to 

Honor them, now...

Time is fleeting,

we need to Honor those Men and Woman 

who fought for our Freedoms.

Tonight, 

I am going to ask for something.

For My Father, My Hero...

You see, he is a World War II Veteran.

He is planning on taking a flight

that is not just a trip,

but a journey into the past.

To have the chance to see 

that even though when he came home

so many years ago, and packed away all of his 

military gear and memories,

and got to work taking care of his family...

For him to know that his service and all those that he fought with 

are so vital to our Freedom that we cherish today.

So many have never had the chance to go to Washington DC

to see the Memorials that were built in Honor 

of those who fought for our Freedoms.

This September, My Father will get that chance.

He will be flying to Washington DC on an Honor Flight.

Tonight, I am asking each one of you

if you would take a moment, 

to write a letter, send a card or picture which will 

be given to my Father at his final mail call on the way home.

When my Father was in the service, 

 mail call was always the brightest moment of the day.

They didn't have e-mails, faxes, facebook or any of the 

things we have today to keep in touch.

It was mail call, that most of the military lived and died by.

To get a letter from their loved ones to hear how 

things were and just to hear words of love.

As a Marine serving, 

I can remember how much a letter from home,

 from a friend or even  from someone I may have never met

meant to me.  

The words of encouragement could help me in my 

times of struggle, no matter what I was facing at the time.

I, to this day, still have each one that was sent to me.

If you want to help me Honor my Hero, my Father

would you please send me what you want him to receive  

at his final mail call.

I will be putting a package together for him to get.

Thank you in advance for your time and for helping 

me to Honor a man who has helped to shape me into the 

person I am today.
