Veteran's Day

"Thank You" just doesn't really express how deeply I feel it. 

But my life is better because of your service, your sacrifice, and your efforts.

"Thank You" seem an inadequate thing to tell you, after all you've done.

But my community and our society are unquestionably better for you doing it.

A quick "Thank You" on Veteran's Day and Memorial Day is negligent on our part.

But you never waited for the applause and accolades to do what you knew needed to be done.

"Thank You" can't give your family the time they have missed with you.

But they are heroes too, and you--with them--have offered much more than most of us.

"Thank You" for your service, your sacrifices, your efforts, your dedication.

My family, my life, my country, my world are all that I love because of men and women like you.

THANK YOU.

From the bottom of my heart.

Remembering Veteran's Day, 2011.
