The veteran's in my life include:
- My husband, who retired after serving 21+ years in the Air Force.
- My great uncle, who gave his life on the beaches of Normandy
- My father, who served in the Army
-My brother, who served in the Coast Guard
-My father-in-law, who served in the Navy
- Numerous friends and husbands of friends in the Army and Air Force, several of whom are currently in theater.
Who are the vets in your life? When's the last time you thanked them for their years of service? They deserve our gratitude and for those still serving, they deserve our prayers.

My grandfather was a vet, and my biological father served hard time in Nam. DH is prior service, but he served way before the war broke out. I was in the military too, believe it or not. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI try to thank a soldier or former soldier every chance I get.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandfather was a POW. Nasty stuff. He'd probably come back from the dead and strangle me if he knew my boys speak Japanese.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to all the MPs who did the heavy bodyguard thing and kept us safe when my band played for the airforce and army bases. We were all girls and the recruits we played for were drinking. 'Nuff said.
