Today was Veterans Day, did you thank a veteran?

Like yesterday, for the Marine Corps birthday, on Facebook, there were some amazing posts and photos, thanking all the men and women and animals who have served or are currently serving.

No matter what you think of war and politics, you should respect and and have respect for the men and women who have served and are currently serving in our armed forces today and those that gave their lives to protect our freedoms, that allow us to have opinions that may differ from someone else’s point of view, no matter who they are.

There was a quote on a show I like, Leverage, that I think sums it up. There was a militia group claiming to be fighting for our country “You’d kill to protect your rights, a real soldier would die protecting someone else’s”.

When you see someone who is serving or has served, take the time to thank them for what they do. They are wiling to lay down their lives for your freedom and inalienable rights, what are you wiling to do?

Thank you.
