This Veterans Day
This week, once more this country will honor our veterans. A public holiday set aside to give a grateful nation’s population the chance to thank the people who gave us the freedoms we enjoy everyday.
Daily the media shows us the efforts of these brave and courageous men and women. Every minute of every day our armed forces sacrifice life, limb and the comforts of home to keep us safe from harm. They perform tirelessly in dangerous and/or mundane jobs. From the cook to the rifleman, the no-striper to the general, they all work toward one goal; peace, security and freedom for everyone at home.
Our military force is the best trained in the world. With or without the proper equipment, they put forth the effort to get the job done, no matter what. They are a family working side by side for peace, either to keep it or attain it.
The next time you are sipping a cup of coffee, reading the morning paper or sitting in your easy chair watching television, remember who gave you the right. It wasn’t a politician, it was the military.
Anyone in the armed forces is a veteran and should be thanked. There are no second class veterans, they are all heroes. Give them thanks, not just on the day our government has set aside, but everyday. Remember, your life and lifestyle would not be worth much without our military men and women; without them you may not have either.
No matter who is in the White House or on Capital Hill, who leads the Fortune 500 or sits on welfare, our American heroes are on the job. No matter the weather, time of day or season of the year, from every part of the globe they stand watch over our flag and the nation it stands for. They stand and die for you!
Our military give their all to protect us, shouldn’t we return the favor? Give them the tools and the support they need to do the job and return home safe. We can not give them honor, they have already earned it, but we can show them honor and should.
Neither politically left or right, the military serves and protects everyone. Not many other organizations can lay this claim with honesty. No other organization can lay claim to giving this nation’s citizens their right to life and freedom. Do yourself a favor today, thank a vet!
Only through vigilance and preparedness for war can peace be obtained.
