Debt of gratitude owed to previous generations

Walking around the various buildings and clincs here in Arkansas Deb and I have seen many plaques on the walls honoring the previous generations who made the plans and raised the dollars to build these fine facilities. It reminded me of how much we owe to those whose sacrifices make our lives better today. It also reminded me that the responsibility for making lives better for the next generation is ours. Every nice building,job,church,school for our kids and grandkids is our responsilibity to provide so it will be there for them.Then,perhaps they will hang plaques in our honor.

The one saying I really dislike is 'we are spending our children inheritance'. That is really a short-sighted goal.

Thanks to those who met the responsibilities of the past so we benefit today!
