Honoring our veterans

While driving this morning, I heard on the radio that over twenty million people in the United States are veterans.

WOW! Can that be?

So…I did what most of us do when we want to check on things–I googled it.

 

Yep! According to Google (Veteran’s Affairs), we have 20.4 million veterans.

My father was a veteran. You probably know a lot of men and women that have served our country.

This past week, we had the opportunity to vote. That’s a right that our veterans have protected for generations. I hope you honored their service by going to the polls and voting.

We can also honor our veterans by letting them know how much we appreciate their service and their sacrifice. Along with our law enforcement personnel and firefighters, our military put their lives on the line on a daily basis to protect us or persons in other countries that need our help.

Let’s remember and thank those men and women that currently serve or have served in the military. I hope we can also take a moment to thank those in law enforcement and all emergency personnel for their service. Let’s also pray for these brave men and women–for their protection–for a safe homecoming–and for peace.

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and blessed Veteran’s Day.
