And wasn’t the call enough? We realized it didn’t have to feel like the right time to know it absolutely was. And when I talked to Allison & Jim, they agreed. It didn’t feel like the right time to add one more thing to our plates.Īnd yet, the idea wouldn’t leave my brain. And Operation Coming Home wasn’t part of that plan.
We had planned our work for 2017 and we were working our plan. When we got the call asking if we’d be interested in building for Operation Coming Home we were already committed to building two Habitat Blitz Homes this year. And it’s the first home being built to honor a fallen soldier, SGT. Because this year we’re building the 16th Hero Home for Operation Coming Home. This year, I think Memorial Day is hitting all of us at Garman a little deeper. Today is a day we give thanks to those who paid the ultimate price so we can do what we do, be who we are, and live as Americans. That doesn’t tell the stories we carry in our hearts and our minds this weekend.įortunately Facebook, Insta and the rest of the social media sphere interrupts their regularly scheduled programming of warring opinions, photo-ready food, puppies and babies to remind us about the REAL meaning of Memorial Day. People in America have spent the past 3 days doing what we do on 3-day weekends…finding a body of water, a bottle of sunscreen and soaking in the first flirty days of summer.īut that’s just the surface.
