11) Today I am grateful for everyone who has ever worn the uniform of the US Military. It is Veteran's Day today, and sadly, this is a woefully under emphasized holiday. There have been too few expressions of gratitude to these men and women. There is too little respect offered to them, despite their efforts, sacrifice and dedication.
I am grateful for those willing to serve without being compelled. Those that feel in their soul a sense of duty to their country. Those that answer that duty call with optimism and hope.
My world is a better place because of the work, tears, blood and lives given by veterans from across the country and over the years. And today, particularly, I am very grateful for them.
