If You're Enjoying An Old Ford Truck-Thank A Vet
 

I wish I'd had the, uh, "testicular fortitude" to serve my country in the military.I can't change the fact that I didn't, but I have come to view those that did, and do, in a more appreciative way as I've gotten older.After having worked in both Iraq and Afghanistan in the past couple years, I especially am grateful for the sacrifices of these mostly young kids, who do it all for their fellow countrymen.We should all WANT to honor the Vets of this country, even if we did not OWE them honor - which we most definitely do.Let them know you recognize them on Veterans' Day.

I couldn't have said it better! Outside of the fact that I have not worked in Iraq or Afghanistan, my story is much the same.

Because of what young kids did for many years running, I did not have to serve as well. That certainly makes me appreciate their contribution even more! Thank you to all vets!
