Today, I woke with a sense of gratitude. Gratitude for all of the Veteran’s that have sacrificed so much for me.  Without these men and women, I would not be able to sit here and enjoy the laughter of my children while they are getting ready for school, kiss my husband goodbye as he leaves for a job that he loves, or help a young couple find their first home.  Think of all the small everyday tasks that we enjoy.

We get to experience these moments because a Veteran fought for our freedom.

I ask you this… Next time you see a Veteran, shake their hand, say thank you, buy them a cup of coffee.  A small gesture of kindness is just a drop in the bucket for what they have done for us.  With that being said, I think I will make my way to the local donut shop to buy a round of coffee and donuts for the gentlemen that I know hang out there in the morning.

Happy Veteran’s Day to all who have served and fought for our freedom.  Thank you!
