Have you ever been given a “thank you” for your service in the military? I have, and the feeling I had was being proud that I served. It makes your time in the service worth it.
If you haven’t I am telling you now. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. You deserve this greeting, and I thank you for your sacrifice.
Not enough people in the private sector are grateful for the military people who serve. I also have been told that they are spending too much on the military. I do not get angry, I just wonder what it would be like if there wasn’t any military to protect them.
