November 11 - Veterans Day
Today is a day of reflection for me because it is Veterans Day. I spent six years working alongside some of the best people I have ever met and some of them are no longer on this earth with us. Many have passed while in service to the United States and I spend this day every year reflecting on that. It is difficult to think that they have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Some think of this day as a day off and a day of free food, but there is much more to it than that. Leaving your family for months or years at a time is difficult for the service member and their families.
Please thank a veteran today if you have them in your life. =)

Jess,
Well, Thank you for serving and coming home safe.
My son served in the Marines for 5 years and lost good men too! He is now in the Marine Reserves, but is on US soil!
Thanks for reminding everyone what today really is about and what it truly means.
