Sacrifice is a word that we have heard during the recent campaign. The word has the same root as “sacred.” We are told that we will be asked to sacrifice more in the future.
Tomorrow on Veterans Day, let us acknowledge the sacrifice that the military men and women, and their families, make daily. They sacrifice time, income, relationships, health and often the supreme sacrifice, life.
Their commitment can serve as an example. It can help us to keep things in perspective as we make sacrifices in our daily life.
