Veteran's Day, 2013 Thank You

Thank you, guys. All of you. I can’t say this enough. I was raised by a Marine, so I know what your service is worth. I’ve loved and respected you guys all my life for the courage you show by putting on that uniform.
What I never understood, until tonight, is the much greater courage you show when you take OFF that uniform and return to the civilian world that’s become an alien landscape to you. I saw some programs tonight that highlight the difficulties returning vets face. Families who have become strangers. who only know you as a photo Mommy hugs at night and cries. Friends who have moved on and forgotten who you were, and don’t understand who you are now.
Guys, I salute you. Your immense courage has been highlighted for me tonight. The real, very real, risks you take. Not only of dying in combat, but worse, of becoming strangers to your own homeland. You humble me.
You deserve so very much more than the simple thanks we give you each year. However, because we as civilians simply can’t understand you, we call you heroes, and we thank you as best we can.
Families, I should not forget you. The parents and spouses who stay home and mind the fort, never knowing when your loved ones will come home, or how long they can stay until the next deployment. Siblings who may not understand, but who still give your support. who still love Mommy or Daddy, no matter what. Thank you, also, for the sacrifices you make, and may all your loved ones come home.
Thank you will have to serve, to all of you, for a sacrifice we can’t grasp, and a lifetime you have lost in just a few years. Bless you, and may the Divine hold you and keep you sane. May your faith never be broken past redemption, and may your memories never fade in our hearts.

 Thanks for your post. It was a great service for me to serve my country. And it's people like you that make us (service men and women) proud to serve knowing that we have patriotic people standing behind us.

Pisces, honey, I just wish I could do more. But the way this country is going, I feel like a voice crying out in the wilderness!

 Thank you for the post. After all the parades and welcome homes some veterans have a hard time coping with civilian life. The adjustment can be a year or longer. I hope other people saw the same program and understand to give these returning veterans time to adjust. have a good day and thank you for your kind words.

I lost my second husband to this meat grinder, and while I admit I don't support this war, I fully support the men and women who have no choice but to fight in it.
