Hello. Today is Veteran's Day. It is wet, rainy and cold, kind of miserable day. To make it worse, War Hero's unit that he works with left this morning for a year rotation to Afghanistan. I have grown very close to some of the wives in this unit, and I remember the tears and last hugs like they were yesterday. I can only assure them that the goodbye was one of the hardest parts. Now, that it's over, routines are formed, time flies by and the good thing is that no one cares what you make or don't make for dinner and you get the remote for the whole night! I wish them all a safe journey and that it goes by very fast.
With that said, if you know a veteran, today it's their day. Go give them a hug, a thank you, or a handshake. These people got off the couch, left their hometown, and are among the bravest I know to defend freedom. Because of veterans, we are allowed to vote, feel safe in our homes, and teach our children about democracy. My grandfathers were veterans, my father in law is a veteran, and my husband is a veteran. There is not anyone that fits the hero definition more in my book than these men. Thank you for the live you have given me and my children!
