My fellow Veteran’s change their profile photos on Facebook and other social media for a day, not to bring attention to themselves as much as to allow their friends to know who among them have served.
It is a real honor to serve. Not everyone is qualified to join the military, and many who try, may not make it through. Military service is not easy, it’s not for everyone, and I know that the people who have given so much of their life to be there when this nation has called are still ready to do it again if needed.
When you see a veteran, you know that when you need to get something done, you can call on that person and know it will happen.
If there is anything I ask is that we continue to support our Veteran’s as they finish their tours of duty, as they are ill or injured from their tours of duty, as they face unseen trauma, such as PTSD, and homelessness.
Our nation is very fortunate to have citizens who for whatever haphazard reason decided to raise their right hand and make an oath that would forever change their life, and have a positive impact on our society. To my fellow Veteran’s and to those who support us, Thank you, I am humbled and honored.
