Thank You Dad!

Today we are celebrating Veterans Day. We need to take time to stop and think about all the ones that lost their lives fighting for our freedom. My Dad was one that went off to Vietnam and fought for our freedom. We were very lucky that he came home. When dad went to fight there was no big home coming for those guys when they came home. Many men lost their homes, jobs and family while they were fighting for our freedom. Today there are many vets that are homeless and some that are mentally ill due to things that went on during their tour. I feel it should be our governments place to help them with a hand up, after all they fought for our freedom. I think they are the forgotten few.

There are several military men in our family and today I want to stop and say thank you for all you done for our country. Today would not be possible if you had not done your job while oversees. If you get a chance today, stop and shake a veterans hand or give them a hug and tell them thanks for the sacrifice they made.
