Re: O/T ~ i am a veteran
Thank you Trappey, for serving our country.
Thank all of you vets and serving now service people for serving our country.
I come from a family of military people (father, uncles, brother, son), and I appreciate everyone who has ever served our country.
I see vets everyday at my work, and I love these people. Give them a handshake and tell them thank you whenever you see them, they love this. You will make them stand taller with their chests raising up when you do this. You will make their day. Ask them about their stories and if you are very very lucky, they will honor you with one or two. Listen to them.
If you see someone in uniform, try to give them a hug (well, you guys might not want to do this, but you girls can). It makes them so happy.
It's easy to spot many of them by the baseball hats they wear. I make an effort to read the logos on baseball hats and when I see one related to the military, I always ask them about it. And I always thank them and shake their hand. They appreciate this a lot. It's easy to do and it means so much to them.
And they mean to much to us. What freedoms we have are due to them, don't forget that.
