This should be the motto of the day:
“If you can read, thank a teacher; If you can read English, thank a Vet!”
I want to express my deepest thanks for all your hard work and sacrifice for our country. My family and myself thank you from the bottom our our hearts.
It is unfortunate how many don’t fully understand, but what is great is that YOU understand and I thank you for that.
When you are out and about today thank a vet. And make a commitment to yourself that the next time you are at an airport or train station or just around town, if you see a serviceman in uniform, simply say:
“Thanks for everything! “
I came across this recently from a high schooler, and it gives me hope in our future.
Freedom is not Free
by Ashley Persyn
There is a price we pay for freedom
For it is not truly free
But rather paid for by the contributions of veterans
To buy our liberty
As their blood drains from their body and runs like a river through the grass
Over the years it’s forgotten, war is placed in our past
I don’t think we all realize the importance veterans play
as they voluntarily serve America each and every day
We should honor the veterans for they act like a shield
Protecting us from danger, keeping America healed.
So if you would take a second to commemorate
You will instantly see
We owe veterans our gratitude
For they are the reason we are free
