To my husband’s grandfather, who went missing and presumed dead during a reconnaissance mission during WWII; to his father, who served two tours of duty in Vietnam and retired after 20 years in the Air Force; to his uncle, who was a jump trainer with the 82nd Airborne and was politely asked to retire after 30 years with the Army; to his other grandfather, who also was a WWII veteran; to my uncle and my great-uncle who served in the Army during WWII; to one of my other great-uncles who served in WWI and lived to talk (or not talk) about it; and to all of the veterans and veterans’ families who might be reading this: Thank you for serving our country.
Happy Veteran’s/Armistice Day. It’s not just a federal holiday. Ask a veteran near you, or in your own family, what Veteran’s/Armistice Day means to them.
