To all those who served, I salute you. To all those who waited at home for their loved ones to return, I thank you. For all those who didn’t return home, I pray for you. Veteran’s Day is an annual day where the country is reminded of the sacrifices of those who were willing to lay down their lives for the country we love. Sadly, most of the other 364 days the veteran is forgotten by most of our country. It doesn’t matter whether they volunteered, were drafted or what the circumstance, each and every one is a brother and sister to every veteran who served. In service the only thing that mattered was character and willingness to stand tall, in peace or combat. We were all the same, and when the chips were down, each and every one was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for a comrade in arms. A true brotherhood and sisterhood that few would ever find in the civilian world.
Please take a moment to reflect on where we would be without our veterans. Remember those who didn’t come home, those who did, and those who still carry the burden of their service through illness and injury.
God Bless America
