To all of my heroes, the US service men and women past and present. I wish there was some way to show you my gratitude for your sacrifice. But I know you would say that it is unnecessary to do so, that is what makes you so great of heroes in my eyes. Again thanks. :hearteyes

"You gave for peace with courage
That families may be free
So children could grow strong
And safe they'd ever be.

In giving for the sake of peace
You may have suffered loss
Your body may still show its wounds
From taking up the cause.

May remembrance of your time away
Your sacrifice for peace
Spur us on to strive more strongly
For freedom, that there'll be release.

From causes that sent some away
To fight that we may freely live
With gratefulness we thank you, veterans
For all you gave and give!"

Prayer by Susan Helene Kramer

From my family, a sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU! to all the Brothers and Sisters who have put on a uniform. I have lost family and friends in the fight for Freedom and I have made sure my boys know that the Freedom we cherish did not come free. If you see a soldier or a vet, thank them, we get to do the things we do here at home because they are fighting for or rights to do so. I would like to thank my Dad, he was a POW in North Korea in 68 and was awarded a Purple Heart and many other medals in service of his country along with everyone that served before and continue to do so. He has always been modest about his service and I still listen to him tell his stories and I am who I am today because I had a great roll model to strive to be like. I love you Dad!

As a vet who is still serving, I am humbled by the gratitude our nation shows to all who serve. None of this would be possible without the sacrifice of my fellow vets who served in the past. I salute you.

Edit: And let us not forget those who never came home.
