Reality check...
As my country continues to act like children throwing tantrums because we have freedom of speech, religion, and oh... a DEMOCRACY. I choose to thank the men and women who fought and lost their lives for the freedom we take for granted.
Today, I thank my Grandfather who served in the Air Force and celebrates Veteran's Day today!
My Grandfather or Tata Candido is Puerto Rican. He was born in Puerto Rico and his family migrated to Chicago to live the American dream.
He was raised during a time where your word was gold and a hand shake was a binding contract. Amazing how much life has changed.
He raised his family to have a strong work ethic and integrity. He raised his family to be responsible and to be accountable for their actions. Words are powerful... speak kindly, listen, treat others with care and respect.
To all the men and women who serve to protect the freedom that so many take for granted... Thank you... To all the first responders that continue to run toward the fire and people yelling for help while everyone else is running in the opposite direction... Thank you!
Tata Candido... you're loved... thank you for my life. Thank you for your service and Bendicion Tata!
