Just wondering how many are going to thank our service men and women for serving to honor this nation by protecting our freedom both in peace time and at war?
I wonder if anyone will thank me for serving at peace time? When I wore my uniform one Veteran's day after I was out of the Corps, I got spat and jeered for being a "War monger" and "Child Killer". I've never been thanked for my service of 4 years of my life to serve ... even if I did not go to war, I could have and would have died for my country. Not whining or complaining, just commenting because I know there are a lot of service men out there that never been thanked for giving a few years of their life to serve, even if they only served in peace time. It's something to think about!
Happy Veteran's Day to all who served!
