We have the opportunity to remember our veterans and their many sacrifices to protect us. Our veterans have to spend time away from family and friends, face the possibility of dying as they fulfill their service obligations and have uncertainty on a daily basis.
"We do something for someone else that we may not even remember but can cause that other person's life to turn in some way that's positive." Ann Curry, Emmy-winning journalist
Our veterans do something for all of us that definitely causes us to have our lives protected and safe.
By assisting us, veterans have the opportunity to find the best in themselves.
"The moments of my greatest fears--when I was sure I was going to wimp out under the pressure of it all-- have also been the open doors to the greatest changes in my life." Annie F. Downs, from her book, 100 days to Brave
I hope that our veterans have many doors open to make wonderful things happen in their lives!
"The Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, or even at their difficulty, as at the love with which we do them." St Therese of Lisieux
Thank you veterans for all of the love you have put into your special work!
