You served your country. You sacrificed your time to protect our country. Some have faced war wounds, others PTSD. Yet…they still love their country, and many would go back into the service in a New York minute.
Many went to battle and didn’t come home alive. They gave their all to protect our country, and the people of the country they died in.
This weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. Time to honor those who served and also gave their all.
Reach out to those fellow veterans around you and thank them. I am proud to be a veteran, and so should you.
