Today is Veterans Day.
A day to celebrate those who serve our country and to remember those who laid down their lives for our country.
It takes a special person to serve in the military. Lord knows I SO could not do it. I am married to a former Military man who served in the Gulf War. I have worked with men who served in Viet Nam and have stories that they can’t share because the memory is still too painful. My daughter’s Godfather served in the current war. He was on one of the first ships that was deployed after the 9/11 attacks.
I don’t care what your views are of the war or our President. None of that matters today.
Today is a day to say thank you. Thank you for caring enough about your country and the people who live in it to spend countless months away from your family. Thank you for experiencing the horror of war so we don’t have to live in fear and can feel safe. Thank you for keeping those memories and stories to yourself so we don’t have to experience the pain. I am honored to know and love you and am humbled by your service.
Thank you for being so selfless.
God Bless You and God Bless America!
