Today, I am grateful for every single person that has fought for the freedom I enjoy today, including my own father, my brother and two uncles, one that did not come home from WWII. My relatives are all gone now, including my dear brother who died a few years ago, and I miss them all terribly.
I am also grateful for all the service dogs that have served, and still serve, alongside our military personnel. Not only do these dogs help our soldiers do their jobs, the dogs also provide wonderful companionship to them while they are away from home.
Lastly, I am grateful to those who help to care for our veterans that have various needs when they return home. “If we send ’em, we should mend ’em.” Wounded Warrior Project is a good one, but I know there are many more, too.
From the bottom of my sincere heart today, I thank every single one of you. ❤
