Thank You

To the men and women who are in the Armed Forces, thank you for risking your lives so we can live in a free country.  Despite people trying to kill you, you sacrifice your lives so we can live in the greatest country in the world.  Sure our country like any other country has it's issues, but it's because of you that we can live in a country where we are free to protest with our freedom of speech and pray and worship God.

To the men and women in the Police Department, thank you for risking your lives so we can sleep soundly.  You sacrifice your lives so we don't have to worry about being murdered.  You rush into danger so we can be safe.

To the men and women in the Fire Department, thank you for risking your lives so we can be safe in our homes.  You sacrifice your lives and rush into buildings and forests that are on fire so we can be safe.


I'm sorry you are all underappreciated.  No one forces you to go into danger to save people, you do it because you want to help people.  You are all the reasons we are a great country.  It doesn't matter to you what race we are, or by what name we call God, you come to our rescue.  You are all heroes.  I wish people appreciated what y'all do for us.  If I could, I would give all of you a big hug and tell you I support you and appreciate what you do for us.  People take advantage of what you do for us.  You understand that ALL LIVES MATTER no matter who it is.  The only reason you would kill someone would be to save those who are in danger.  You're on the front lines to protect us, even though it seems no one is there to protect you, not even our own government.  Yet, you don't expect people to respect you.  Jesus said, "There is no greater love, than to lay down your life for your friends."  Indeed, you willingly lay down your lives for those who even hate you.

So to all of you in the service, I thank you.  It's because of you we can live freely.  You do what you do to protect us even though no one makes you do it.  I'm sorry there are people who hate you and even want to kill you.  People unappreciate your sacrifices.  But I want you to know that I greatly appreciate your sacrifices and that you aren't alone.  I know I'm not the only one who appreciates your sacrifices.  We salute you and thank you for your sacrifices.  God bless you all.


Your Sister in Christ,

Allie
