Everyday I get up and run my business without a second thought and on weekends I get to ride anywhere my mood takes me. Freedom is a wonderful thing and all too easily taken for granted.

My Dad fought in WWII making him part of the ‘Greatest Generation’. He was a quiet man who, at the age of 20 was handed a gun and told to go off and save the world. Then, when he came home was given a job and told to build a country. Oh sure, he had his share of complaints and struggles, we all do. But he woke up every day of his life and did his duty.

Today we’re doing the same thing with some of our best and brightest. Freedom isn’t won once and held forever, it’s protected every minute of every day. And often the cost is high.

How do we make sure it’s not an ‘us vs. them’ situation in that they wake up in some God forsaken land risking their lives daily while we wake up in the comfort and safety of our homes? What is our responsibility to these brave men and women who are carving out a large portion of their lives serving our country…serving all of us? How can we more personalize the sacrifice they are making to ensure we as a country can carry on?

I think we honor them by doing our jobs to the best of our ability each and every day…by working not only for ourselves and immediate families but them as well. By no longer playing numbers games for quick riches but instead building our businesses the right way and giving them an economy filled with jobs worthy of their sacrifice to come home to.

They’re making us proud for doing their jobs so let’s do ours. It’s our turn to make them proud.
