Today on this Veterans Day, just like last year while a good portion of the country has the day off, my husband will be sacrificing again for his country. Last year during this time he was still on his mission of deployment. This year my husband is away training. Seems kind of backwards that he the Veteran is working today while so many enjoy the day off.
I went into sort of a rant on my other blog about how he is again sacrificing, while so many people consider this a "Free Day Off". To my husband, no day is a Free day off. I will save you all from that rant, but I do ask that you please do something today on your day off to honor a Veteran. Weather you buy a new flag, buy a solider a drink, pay for his meal, or even just say thank you. Please do something to honor this day. Please say thank you to not only a soldier, but the family that supports him. Please support not only our troops, but the child and the wife that sacrifice as well.
Remember all the lives that have been lost due to war. Remembering all those that give their all. Remember those families left behind.
