Wow, how could four decades have passed since I was a young 20-something serving in the U.S. Navy? I’m sure it was just yesterday!
That’s how I felt when my husband and I visited a military base recently while on vacation. I witnessed young military men and women bustling about the base, while flashbacks to my younger self scrolled through my thoughts like a rousing movie. Young, fit, mission-focused. This scene captured my soul—freezing it in time—to remind me that life is brief and that we must redeem our treasured time.
