On Veterans Day eve I want to send out Veterans Day wishes to all our military vets, two and four-legged. Thank you for your service and your dedication to our country.
Since those of us who have served in the military are a smaller and smaller percentage of the United States population, veteran stories may not reach all our citizens.
For veterans struggling with the return from war, deployments and even sexual assault, know you are loved and hugged by your fellow veterans. Reach out and get help. We’re all still in the buddy system.
Whether you prefer Veterans Day ceremonies or choose to spend the day in reflection and quiet, know you have served our country with true citizenship in action.
Thank you. Enjoy your day.
Happy Veterans Day to my friend and one of our nation’s best. You’re right about the growing divide between those who have served and those who haven’t and I think it’s a problem. So I appreciate you, my parents, and my husband who served, as well as my cousins who took the load off me.
Thank you. Ex-USCG Vietnam vet…
