I would like to make a post to all thank all the veterans in the country that have given their life, a limb and/or their time so that I can have the freedom that I have today.
My stepfather is a Vietnam Veteran and he makes it an absolute point to walk up to every person he notices wearing a Vietnam hat, Korean War hat or whatever it may be and thank them for their service. He hated being drafted and sometimes doesn’t even mention that he served, he just wants to tip his hat and say thank you every chance he gets. I wish I could be half the man that he his sometimes.
So once again, thank you to all the past and current Veterans. I cannot thank you enough for the opportunities that you’ve given me. One of my favorite quotes ever is, “If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a soldier.”
