We may all come from different backgrounds and branches of service but we are all brothers in the fight for freedom. Happy Veterans Day my brothers.
Veterans, Soldiers of the American dream. Veterans endure the hardships of everyday life just as any other American does everyday… but the veteran see these hardships differently than others… the Veteran sees the value of Family… not better, just differently.. he sees the sacrifice his children make when all the other fathers walk their children to school, he sees the unimaginable fear his wife must endure after the news reports “soldiers killed in a gunfight overseas” and no phone call comes for days… or weeks. He takes comfort in the simple phone call he can occasionally make home… usually at odd hours in the wee morning, while the kids are asleep… how he would love to hear their voice… but would rather not wake them… or of the holidays missed… Sitting at the table for Thanksgiving… watching as the Family unwrap presents on Christmas… or how a friend of the family dies… and he can’t go to the funeral, because of the mission… These are the hardships Veterans have endured… same as everyone else…
Thank you Veterans! I know the sacrifice you make everyday. I have 2 sons currently serving in the Navy and lost my middle son in Iraq, Thanksgiving Day, 2005. If you’re deployed, please stay safe. If you are home, I hope that you have many friends and family to hug you!
Much love always to our military!

Sorry for your loss Elle. Your son will never be forgotten. People tend to forget about how much the families have to sacrifice when we deploy. I as well as many others in the world thank you and your family for your sacrifices. We would not be able to carry out our missions without you on the home front. I salute you and your family!! Thank you!!Elle said:
