To Our Veterans,

There are no words to describe the level of gratitude that I feel. Each day that you served, regardless of the location, was a sacrifice. That will not be forgotten. We take so many things for granted in this country, but I promise to never take your time, your service, or YOU for granted.

Thank you for your love for our country, your many sacrifices, your willingness to serve no matter the circumstances. Thank you for what it meant, especially, if you had to serve silently in order to protect yourself, your job, and possibly your pension.

Thank you for everything. If you are plagued with nightmares, I hope they can be replaced with peace. If you were injured, I hope it heals completely. If you lost friends, I hope you have a vault of happy memories.

Thank you...from the bottom of my heart. YOU are the reason we have the freedoms we have. YOU are the reason we can wake up each day and not have the kind of governments others are forced to live with. YOU are the reason that we can take so much for granted. May that never be forgotten.

In Eternal Gratitude,
Lis
