This one was pretty obvious today, but I think we can all be thankful for what the veterans have done for us.
I know that I could never do what a lot of people around us do. I'm just not the type of person that could actually go and fight for our country in the manner that so many selfless people have done.To defend our country from the many threats both around the world and in our backyards takes a special kind of strength and determination that we could all learn from.
Unfortunately, we as Americans don't treat our vets as well as we could. Sure, we'll tip our hat when we see them or buy them a beer at a bar, but a lot of vets have come back with health issues or come back to nothing and have ended up on the streets. A lot more of the homeless than we realize have gone to war for us, and we do nothing but turn our heads when we see them. So I think for this Veterans Day we not only thank them for their service, but take a look through the link below for a veterans charity that you can donate to.
Happy Veteran's Day everyone!
