I am the daughter of two heroes. Unfortunately, yet fortunately, I am the product of a parent who died for our country, and another who served and survived. Memorial Day and Veterans Day speak directly to me as a result. Of course I’m not here to rain on the holiday parade; however, I cannot express how ANGRY I get when there is a moment of silence for our fallen, and I witness utter disrespect from others who find the task to be too much to ask. I just want to take the time to remind my fans of what this day off work is worth: it’s priceless because there can never be a price on what is lost when a soldier has fallen-and it is important to remember that the loss also directly and forever impacts their loved ones’ lives as they know it. To all the fallen, especially Benjamin Patterson Jr. : I know I will ALWAYS be grateful; so a million times and infinity more, THANK YOU.
Silence Is the Best Policy
