If you are a veteran I'd like to say thank you for your service. You are the reason I am free today. You are the reason we don't fear terror attacks at the voting booths. You are the reason we can lift our collective voices in praise on Sunday mornings and sleep tight at night.
You are the reason for so many things we don't even notice we have but would notice if they were taken away. Sadly some wouldn't even notice then.
As a country it shames me that many in our government use you as a bargaining chip. Our debt to you can never be repaid. It could never be attempted to be repaid or the cost calculated as to the amount owed.
The veteran is the only one in which many countries around the world also owe a debt to. Not only have they secured our freedoms written by our Founding Fathers but they have secured the freedoms of many we now call our allies.
If you see a veteran today, please thank them. You'll never know how much you owe them.
