Happy Veterans Day!

Today is a day to honor our veterans, past and present. It is a time to reflect on everything that we as Americans are privileged to have because of the brave men and woman who serve our great nation. I think an Army widow said it best  "For meager wages, they gave themselves to our country to help preserve our freedoms. They have endured things most of us civilians would rather not imagine. They have had to walk away form their families and miss important events in their children's lives. They have had to grow up quick and leave childhood behind to travel thousands of miles onto foreign and hostile land. They've lived in subpar housing, eaten awful food and missed holidays. They've been shot at and blown up often ending up severely wounded. Some have even paid the ultimate price to be a proud member of this sometimes overlooked group of men and women." So today, as you go about your daily routine, remember those who have and are currently serving our great nation. Never forget the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice by giving their life for us. Remember to thank a soldier today!
