Value the Vets

It's Veteran's Day, and to all the men and women who serve or have served, I say Thank You. You do so much for every one if us every day, and too often you go unrecognized for these sacrifices you make. 
Thank you, too, to all the spouses of these service members, their families who serve right along with them without reward or pay. You give to us by being their support, by sticking by them and loving them. The ring on your finger forms an inextricable link to their uniform, and your heart beats in time with theirs.
Veteran's Day is all bout saying thank you, for taking a minute to remember that we would not be the country that we are today without your selflessness, without your call to be who you are, without your dedication to that uniform and everything it represents. You are a warrior for all of us, and for that you should be celebrated. 
Wherever you find yourself today, know that there are people who may not ever know you personally, but think very highly of you and are grateful for your service. Those boots march for us as you march into danger, those uniforms form a tapestry of strength as you become our first line of defense. You draw and define the battle lines and fight evils in our honor.
For all if this, we honor you.
Thank you for being brave for us––we're proud of you. Thank you for making and keeping us free.
