Say Thank You This Veteran's Day
November is a month when people take the time to examine their lives, expressing their gratitude for all that life has bestowed upon them, and spending time with those they love. It is a time when life is put into perspective and differences are set aside, in favor of celebrating the little things and feeling at peace.
One specific and very important moment of gratitude, which we celebrate together, as a nation, is Veteran’s Day. There are many ways Veteran’s Day is celebrated, but the most important is in the outright thanks of all our military personnel. We live in a country where we are afforded freedoms many others do not have. Our freedom is a direct result of the service of these men and women. They sacrifice so much to protect us, the least we can do is say thank you.
Take time out of your day to say thank you to the service men and women in your life. Spend a few moments writing a thank you letter to an active service member, or a wounded warrior. It is such a simple act, but can bring moments of joy to these men and women. After all they have sacrificed, they deserve every moment of joy we can give them.
