Blessings of Military Sounds...
As I was working outside in the yard yesterday, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and my child was happily skipping through the water sprinkler. All of those things along with working in my garden makes me very happy. Digging down into the cool dirt to plant a beautiful blooming flower brings a great sense of peace to my life and beauty to my family.
But I also realized that it was not just the sounds of Spring that were surrounding me with pleasure. It was all of the Military Sounds that were playing in the background. Sounds of helicopters and airplanes overhead. Sounds of live range fire in the distance. The sounds of Reveille and Retreat. To some, these may be sounds that seem so common that you no longer notice them. And to others they may be a nuisance. But I hope like me, you will come to hear those sounds and feel them as a blessing.
To me, they remind me that I live in a safe community that I love. To me, they are sounds that signal our heroes are home (for now) and are working hard training to keep our Country free and safe. Range fire and chopper blades, PT cadences and Humvees bring me peace and happiness. The next time that you step out of your front door, or come onto Post/Base take a moment to breathe in, close your eyes and listen to the Blessing of Military Sounds!
