First off, not all Veterans are heroes. How can I say that? Because I'm a veteran and I'm not. There were men and women before and after me that gave much more than I did. Some gave all. I had fun and met some really good people who became close friends and got to see the world. And I am blessed because of it. But I'm no hero.
Thank you to all the real heroes of this country. Those who sacrificed and toiled. Those that left parts of themselves behind, in so many different ways. I honor and thank you all.
And it cannot be said enough that the people we leave behind are often times more heroic than we are. Thank you to my wife for still being my wife.

Well, you're my hero. ツ
But only when you remember to take out the trash on Tuesdays and Fridays...which is rare when I think about it. Ummm...yeah.
I agree with you on this one, you are welcome, and wanted to add something about my husband, Darren. Although he was posted stateside during the Gulf War while serving in the Army, he was ready, willing, and able to put himself in harm's way. It takes a strength not everyone possesses (me included) to commit to that type of service. It was actually an option I considered, to join the military, but I could not bring myself to leave my children. That is a tough committment, and to face the possibility of being taken out of the world..well, that is sobering. Sorry, I think I blogged instead of commenting...excuse please.
