Today is a no-brainer. Today I am thankful for our American Veterans. They are the best of the best, the cream of our crop. Our veterans are men and women who have found a greater cause than themselves. They are the men and women who put our country and all it stands for first and foremost in their hearts and minds. They are the men and women who stepped forward bravely and without reservation when our country called. They are the men and women who were prepared to sacrifice their lives for the love of country and family. Sometimes I think we as Americans fail to fully comprehend the gravity of the sacrifices that they have made for us. We do not fully appreciate what those courageous men and women were willing to give up for our nation. But not today. Today is their day. Today is the day to honor those Americans who saw beyond our differences and stood up for ALL of us. So today I share with everyone else who is truly proud to be an American in saying a heart-felt and teary-eyed “thank you” to those men and women who were willing to give more than asked. Thank you for making sacrifices beyond my imagination, and living with those memories for life. May each of our veterans feel the love our country has for them today and everyday. Today I am thankful for you.
