In Memory

I had the marvelous experience to be here at Ft Campbell, KY, for the monthly Memorical Service/Ceremony for those of the 101st Division who died in Iraq and Afganistan. It was so moving and soul stirring. Following the service, for myself and on your behalf, I went to the altar to pay respects to those who had fallen in combat. I thanked them, standing there in total silence though many people were in the room. The two soldiers' photos were there with the M-16 rifle standing between the boots and adorned by the empty helmet. Thank God for those who are dedicated to take such risks.

It reminds me that there are also sacrifices that folks make in order to make a relationship successful. It can be very satisfying to give of one's self to make a relationship thrive. I think we all do this everyday, but don't count them. Think of the ways you do or could give of yourself for others, especially those you love. Until next time, Dr. D.
