Happy Veteran's Day · 12:29am Nov 12th, 2014
Whether you call it that, Remembrance Day, or Armistice Day, if you know someone who served, please thank them if you haven't already. Even during the best of times, duty permeates every aspect of your life. It's demanding living, hard on families and relationships, a perfect storm of boredom, obligation, trepidation, and, all too often, horror.
I get the feeling you served at some point. If I'm correct, thank you.
Unrelated, I hope to see some more writing from you one of these days.
Been there, saw (some of) that. I will not forget.
Having several members of my family who are veterans, as well as a cousin who just this year completed Basic Combat Training in the Army, I am eternally grateful and have the utmost respect to those who have served us in both peacetime and wartime. Let us never forget the contributions they have made on our behalf.
