Veteran's Day - A Day of Celebration
Veterans Day is a time of celebration. It’s a time to celebrate the service of all who have worn the uniform. Our uniforms may have been different colors, but we all served under the red, white and blue. And we all took an oath that we were willing to sacrifice our lives for this great nation.
Regardless of whether a veteran has or has not been in combat, there is a bond that we all share. Veterans have all practiced the servant leadership that is needed to make a great military work.
It is this servant leadership that Americans everywhere should acknowledge the service of the millions of men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces since our nation’s founding in 1776. And while Veterans Day discounts at restaurants and businesses are a great way to say “Thank you for your service,” it is the camaraderie between our brothers and sisters that we are the most thankful for.
Veterans Day is a perfect time to check on the well-being and needs of our comrades. A simple “How are you?” is your opportunity to Be the One for a veteran who may need to know that someone cares, someone will listen.
