Today is your day, take time to reflect on your service, those you served with and the many that we have lost. This nation is great because of each one of you.

    Cheers, as well to the family and friends of veterans, who have supported them during the long deployments or in the aftermath of their service; for the letters you sent during basic training and the care packages overseas. For the children who moved away from their friends every two years while they were growing up, and for those who have had to deal with the PTSD, alcoholism, rages, and other problems that some of the most unfortunate face. This is your day as well and we veterans are grateful to you.

    This times a million. The vets work hard and deserve their day, but the families have just as tough of a job.

    Thank you to all the Vets out there! You are much appreciated.

    Sincerely,
    A Navy wife

    I so appreciate the brave men and women that have helped keep our country free! :flowerforyou:

    My son, a veteran Marine, has signs of PTSD. He is an adult now and chooses not to get help-so I pray for him and all of his family around him ( a child and girlfriend) and watch everything I say and do when he is visiting. He is my baby (29) and I love him and pray for his well being and offer my support if asked :heart:

    Happy Veteran's day!

    I want to thank you who are/have served this sometimes ungrateful country. If it were not for you, and our predecessors, our country would not be what it is today.

    Today I honor those who have risked it all, and respect the jobs that those who are currently serving.

    I was asked why say Happy Veterans Day..... I told him, I am happy he made it home alive, and I am happy to celebrate the lives of those who gave all for our country. The brave men and women who choose to put their lives on the line for us on the home front, deserve our eternal gratitude and for that I am happy to show them just that!

    What a tremendous out pouring of support! Im so happy to see all of you coming to contribute your kind words to all that have served and are currently serving.

    Im sure I can speak for all Vets when I say it was our Honor to have been a part of such a wonderful cause. It's supporters like you guys that made putting on that uniform something that we loved to do.

    For our brothers and sisters still serving, please accept our utmost gratitude for the enormous responsibility that has been placed on your shoulders.

    We love you, we honor you and we will always have you in our hearts.
