We sleep in peace tonight...

Good evening to you all and a Happy Memorial Day as well!!  I hope all of you enjoyed your day today and remembered to think of all those that fought to protect us and give us the freedoms we have!  Today's Happy is completely dedicated to all of those men and women who have served, are currently serving and to those that gave their lives so we could continue living ours!!!  I don't even know how to begin to thank you all for what you've done/are doing for us all... I pray for you and your loved ones and well, God bless you all!!!  You all are an incredible vision of love ... thank you so very much!!!

Just thinking about what these men and women do for us all the time ... How can that not make you happy?  Knowing someone is out there risking their life every day, lots of someones that don't even know us, that's pretty awesome.  I hate that we have wars and that people fight, and our American Soldiers do too, but when our land is threatened - along with all the people who live here - they stand up and fight for us all.  They choose to go out there and do this too!  I really wish I could do something more to show how incredibly thankful I am... 

So, in honor of all these men and women here's American Soldier by Toby Keith:

American Soldier

*lyrics are under the video

I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em, bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots

I don't do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway
Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yeah I'm real good under pressure
Being all that I can be

And I can't call in sick on Mondays
When the weekends been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey I'm solid
Hey I'm steady, hey
I'm true down to the core

And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
But if dyin's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'Cause freedom don't come free

I'm an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When Liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front line
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

I hope you all are a little happier now remembering that we have so many phenomenal men and women out there watching out for us all the time.  It's pretty amazing, isn't it?  Thanks again to all of you and to those who gave their lives, watch over us from Heaven too!! 

Now, go have yourselves a fabulous night's rest and until tomorrow, keep smiling and spreading that love!!

Peace, Love and Happiness!
