Early this morning, while it was still dark, I drove the 2.2miles to my gym. Along the way I noticed two men walking along the sidewalk each carrying something that looked like fishing poles. A bit confused as to where they would be fishing in Orange County, I peered for a closer look and as I drove closer I was shocked to find they were not carrying fishing poles at all. What I had mistaken to be fishing poles were actually rifles and the men were dressed in military gear.
Why was that such a random thing to see and why was I shocked? Rarely do we civilians see soldiers among us. This is why I am thankful to live in America. Thankful for all those who have paved the way before me so we could be free. We do not live where war and chaos abound at each street corner, but instead we live in peace and yet we complain about the pettiest things we can find. Those of us who live on American soil need to wake up with the thankfulness of reality.
