Veteran's Day thank you

Veterans Day Special

Thank you for your service.

Today is a day we thank the brave men and women that serve or have served in our armed forces. It's sad that in today's world we need a designated day to thank people that we care about or to tell them we are proud of them.

We should tell them every chance we get, there is nothing that warms my heart more than walking in an airport and telling or hearing someone tell a soldier in uniform thank you...those simple two words that mean so much to them.

These brave men and women CHOOSE to fight for our country, they don't have to, they wanted to! Big difference!

I come from a military family, both my dad's (my step father Nunu and my real dad Louie) served in the Air force and the Navy respectively. All of my dad's siblings served, my cousins served. My Nunu marched in every Veterans and Memorial Day parade, in uniform until he could no longer walk and then he sat in his wheelchair in uniform, saluting the others that walked as he once had. I know what it is like to be a proud American family that served it's country.

Many of my friends and boyfriend's served as well, my last boyfriend was a Marine, who served 8 years overseas. They are the toughest of the armed forces, they go into battle first, they take on the toughest assignments, there are none more proud then these men and women who carry this title. This is something to be proud of, for all of our armed services, and they are, even when they receive no respect. For what these people sacrificed, for the lives they lost, for the horrors they saw and endured, each and every one of us should stand up and thank them as much and as often as we can.

People treated them with disrespect, especially after the Vietnam war because it wasn't "our war" but that was not up to them, they serve the way their country needed them to serve, without question.

What gets me is what kind of country let's our service people come home and get no medical care? No jobs? No mental health care after all they have seen and done, things we could never imagine, just to keep us free and we give nothing back to them for all they've done.

Our senators and house representatives get lifetime pay for what? Sitting on their asses in Washington? Robbing our money, padding their pockets? No, this must stop, instead our service people should be getting that! They deserve it, they fought, they deserve our love, our respect and our funds.

So today my friends don't wait for a "special" day to thank the brave men and women that serve to keep us free, make every day be a "special" day because it is....you are free because of them, special enough?

To all the servicemen and women out there who served or are currently serving, thank you all for your service. Thank you for keeping me free so that I may worship who I chose, that I may choose my president and be able to write what I feel each and every day. Thank you for the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted....thank you...thank you..
