ACCORDING TO THE U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, here’s the definition of Veterans Day:
A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
Today, on Veterans Day, consider those words and thank a veteran.
Within my extended family, I’d like to thank my brothers-in-law, Marty, Jon, Neil and Tom, and my sisters-in-law, Rosie, Jamie and Rena, and nephew, Jonathan, for their service to our country.
Who would you like to thank?
