This is just a little note to honor our veterans. There are only a few people in my family who have served in the US Military. My brother-in-law (husband of my wife's sister) served in Germany for the US Navy. My dad served in the US Army during the Korean War. My wife's grandfather served in the Pacific theater in World War II for the US Navy. And the man for whom I am named, Tom, served in the US Army during World War I. I have many friends who serve and have served in the Army, National Guard, Air Force, and more.
I am usually a stickler about Veteran's Day is for living veterans, and Memorial Day is for those who have fallen or passed. What I think doesn't matter, we honor all. We live in a country where we can read what we want, say what we want, share what we want all because of our service men and women. They protected and continue to protect this union of 50 states. I am grateful for that. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, undecided, in-between and upside down, it shouldn't matter, because as Americans we have the right to believe what we believe.
To our soldiers, pilots, captains, Marines, high ranking officers, medics, logistical staff, office staff, communication officers and all that are involved in keeping our land, air, space, International interests, cyberworld, space and water safe. Thank you and Happy Veteran's Day.
