Veterans - Enjoy your special day

Thank you to all military veterans whether you served during time of war or maintained peace. I wish you well on your special day.

It should be a special day off for all of you, and only to you. You deserved it and have my eternal gratitude.

Do you know a veteran? Get on the phone and give them a call. They need to hear it loud and clear that we appreciate their sacrifices. This and Memorial Day are the days I make a special effort to contact my loved one who served many years in the military. I can't tell you how much he appreciates it.

Thank you for your service to our country. Without it, we wouldn't be the same country. Your hard work and dedication is appreciated.

I agree with all the other sentiments. I hope all Veteran's realize how much they are appreciated.

CaliNurse--Thank you for that extra bit about the families. That is very true. My husband was career military and a friend asked me recently how much we were apart. We guessed at least half the time, probably a bit more. Absolutely NO regrets though!

"If you can read, thank a teacher.
If you speak English, thank a veteran."

Thank-you veterans. We owe you a lot.

Beautifully said, LoveItaly, let's also remember the veterans who are no longer in the material world. At this time I would like to honor such a veteran. I would like to send a special thanks to my grandfather in Heaven for his honorable service in Japan during WW2. Thanks, Granddaddy.
