Another Day Of Sacrifice For Many Who Serve

For all the husbands and wives, lovers and secret admirers out there, Valentine’s Day is the traditional reminder for us to cherish our moments with those we love. And nothing pulls at the heart stronger than being separated from our loved ones.

As we go in to the week filled with Valentine’s Day festivity, I hope you will join us in giving a moment of thought and appreciation to all those who through service to our Country, set aside their time for romance to protect our freedoms.

This Valentine’s Day, just like at Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season, there will be empty chairs and sad hearts that feel like they are missing a piece – because of those who serve and those who never were able to make it home.

And that is really the message of Wreaths Across America. As much as we Remember, Honor, and Teach about the service and sacrifice of our veterans – we equally want to recognize their families who also sacrifice so much of what we take for granted. They go without Valentine’s Day Dinners, roses and boxes of chocolate. They serve in the line of duty inhospitable places, or rest for eternity having made the ultimate sacrifice.

How Will You Remember Our Veterans On Valentine’s Day?

We hope you will join us be commemorating Valentine’s Day by sharing on Facebook your story of romance deferred or deepened during a time of service. Each story helps us all better understand and appreciate the depth of sacrifice that is made each and every day throughout the year.

To whet your curiosity – here ‘s an example of what our soldiers and their families went thru during separation of The Great War (WWI Letter From The Trenches).
