Days of Thankfulness #10

Today is Veterans Day, so of course, I’m thankful for the men and women who stepped up and sacrificed so much for our country. These veterans stepped up and vowed to defend our Nation against all enemies foreign and domestic. These brave men and women sacrificed their times with their families, missing birthdays, anniversaries, births, school plays, first tooth lost, and so much more for a Nation that seems to want to trash it and throw it all away. These amazing men and women signed the dotted line to keep the enemies who want to destroy our freedoms, our rights, our whole way of living on their turf and not ours. We have people in the government who seems hell bent on helping destroy our nation from within, but these amazing men and women in uniform continue to serve our nation.

I’ve been blessed to know many veterans and have family members who’ve served. These people have shown me just how important it is to do what we can to help and protect our veterans as well. These brave men and woman sacrifice so much to help keep our nation safe and freedoms intact. Sure there’s a few bad apples in the bunch, but for the 98% of our veterans who’ve served, they deserve our respect. Think about it, are you willing to give up family time, birthdays, anniversaries, and more to help serve your nation? Are you willing to go overseas for months at a time to make sure you and your soldiers have what you need to keep the bad guys over there and not here? Are you willing to give up sleeping in your bed at night knowing you’re safe? Are you willing to give up the rights to protest? The rights to freedom of religions? The right to complain about the government vocally? If not, then stop being so disrespectful and hateful to the veterans. Whatever your political views are, don’t take it out on the men and women who’ve sacrificed and signed the dotted line to help protect you and the country you live in, because you aren’t willing to do it.
