For Veteran's Day

To all those who left their homes and families; to all those who watched as their father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother, husband, or wife boarded a plane, train, or ship; to all those who did what needed to be done, even when they were scared beyond all they had ever experienced; to all those who lost a buddy, a friend, or just the guy next to them in the foxhole; to all those who received a call, letter, or telegram informing them that their loved one would not return; too all of you, a sincere and heartfelt thank you. Your sacrifice, your loss, and your courage will not be forgotten.

Only a veteran can tell the difference between the hope of life and the scars of war. Being in a war, far away from your loved ones and from all that matters to you for years to come, is no small feat. My salute to all veterans for making us proud.

I had a great uncle that died in World War II, 2 uncles that survived World War II, my husband is a Korean era veteran. My brother was a Viet Nam era veteran, my son is a Marine Corps veteran. Veterans, and to those that serve in our military are heroes, not athletes, actors or musicians.
