I never served in the millitary, but I have a lot of respect for those that do or have. They do SO much for us; THEY are the ones who keep us safe and free.
If you have the opportunity to do something nice for a member of our armed forces; DO IT!. They sacrifice a lot for us. When I am out and about, I try to thank them; a nod, a wave, a thumbs up with a thank you is all good. If we are out for dinner, I will often buy a soldiers meal if I see one in the restaurant. I wish more people would recognize our fine soldiers and let them know we appreciate the great job they do for us.
