Honoring a Fallen Seal

In honor of a friend's (Hey Misty!) friend, who was killed in action and layed to rest this past week a couple girlfriends and I are going to do his favorite workout tomorrow at 9 am.
When Misty posted about this my heart immediately went to her as she spoke of her sadness and the loss she was feeling of losing this fellow service man. My husband is not military, but he is in the line of work where every day when he leaves out my door, He and I both fully understand he may not come home that evening. He puts himself on the line every single day protecting the rights of others. Because of him and my brother in law who is an Army officer and some of my closest friends whose spouses are military--a special place in my heart has been carved out for them and for their families. Day in and day out dark til dark they are in some way ensuring that you and I have the freedoms that we do and that is a debt we wont ever be able to repay, nor would they want us to--I know because most of them have military or service in their blood and it is who they are as a person. That being said it is my job to honor them and the sacrifices they and their families-- who have been left behind during training's  deployments, and in some cases when they're service person has returned to the Lord-- have made.
It is with great honor that I will perform this workout tomorrow -yes, it's just a Saturday workout for me. But for this fallen soldier, it was his favorite and one that his peers affiliated with him. I invite everyone who has pride and gratitude in their hearts for this country and the men and women who sacrifice for us every day to join with me tomorrow in sweating it out--for those that can not do it anymore whether they are injured or have been layed to rest.
I will never forget.
