I want to write a post for Veteran’s Day, but I’m afraid I can’t beat last year’s. Regardless, I’ll give it a try. I think our troops and veterans are worth it, don’t you?

Dear veterans and troops,

Thank you for serving this country. I know that I don’t think of you enough, but on this day, your day, I want to give you a particular salute.

I know that serving in the armed forces can’t be easy, but you do that for us. Thank you. I can’t think of a better way to express my admiration and gratitude than to use those two simple words.

Thank you for giving up many of your freedoms that we can keep ours. Thank you for spending months and years apart from your loved ones that I can stay near mine. Thank you for putting yourself in harm’s way that I can walk more safely on American streets.

I pray that God will protect you as you continue to serve and will be your strength and guidance throughout the rest of your days.

Sincerely,

Ronnica
