Happy Veterans Day to the good apples in the bunch who outshine the bad apples.
Thank you Veterans for sitting in the dark listening to bullets zing by your ears while wondering if you would ever see your mother or father again. Thank you for standing up to all the playground bullies in our World. Thank you for trying to help those who suffered rape, murder and starvation when others did not care. Thank you for your strength in witnessing horrible moments while I complained about my jeans feeling too tight. Thank you Veterans for keeping us safe so we can enjoy football, video games and ice cream.
Thank you dad for serving in the Air Force in Vietnam but believing the World is better without war. More importantly, thank you for fighting cancer and beating the odds so you could live longer. Thank you for continuing the fight even when news is bad. And thank you for being a great dad.
To all my American Revolution grandfathers, uncles & cousins… I will remember you on Memorial Day but today I thank you for fighting against taxation without representation. Thank you for providing a way of life that too often, I take for granted.
