Veterans Day

I probably should have posted this last night but... there's nothing that says thank you's need to be confined to one day.

Thank you

To all of the folks who have served and are serving in our nation's armed forces.

Thank you for ensuring we have a safe place to live and raise our families.

Thank you for your sacrifice of leaving your families behind.

Thank you for protecting the system of government that, while not always pretty, allows us to chose how we will run our lives.

And to the families of the members of our armed forces - Thank you for giving up your most valuable possession. I pray that your sacrifice is temporary. If the parting is permanent, I simply will never find the right words to offer.
