"When eating bamboo sprouts, remember the man who planted them." ~Chinese Proverb~
One day is not enough to properly honor those who have stood up for our country and fought for our freedom and defended our rights. They return to us war weary, combat stricken, and forever changed by what they've experienced. Veteran's Day is our opportunity to say thank you.
Thank you for risking your life for us, for missing your family for us, and for sacrificing your comfort and your soft bed. We appreciate your service. We appreciate your courage. And we appreciate your ongoing willingness to step up.
I honor veterans today, and express my thanks for their invaluable and indefatigable service.
