Veteran’s Day
I’m the granddaughter of two Veterans. Plus, I’m a former elementary school teacher. So, I hate to let Veteran’s Day pass by without acknowledging the contributions of our vets. I am so impressed by the fact that the United States has a completely volunteer military. We have no draft and no required military service. Everyone who is a member of our armed services signs up for the job to keep our country (and often the rest of the world) safe.
Whatever small way we can let Veteran’s know they are seen and appreciated…count us in! To our Veteran readers, we thank you for your service. May God bless you, always!
