This weekend there is an airshow going on in Idaho Falls. The Blue Angels will be performing. Yesterday, Friday, they were practicing in the skies overhead. They are amazing to watch as they go through their maneuvers and leave contrails in their wake. I am reminded of the phrase that jets are the sound of freedom. I agree with that, in those jets are dedicated military pilots are serve a mission. To protect this nation and keep Americans safe. Jets fly from airfields and aircraft carriers. My first husband was in the Air Force and we were stationed in New Mexico and lived on the base. Throughout the day one could hear the jets and to me there is a security in that sound. So many take for granted the freedom and security these jets to provide and it is not just the pilots that are dedicated to protect this nation and keep us safe. There are also soldiers who train to fight on the front lines. There are the seaman stationed on ships that protect our shores. There are those who do not approve or agree with the military, I say take the time to talk to these dedicated men and women and hear the sacrifices they make, the sacrifices their families make, the honor in which they serve and you will get a new perspective. I truly believe there is peace through strength and this strength comes from the hundreds of years of service by men and women in the armed forces. The honor is which they have and continue to serve is without measure and equal in this great country of ours.
