Their Sacrafice! Our Freedom!
Because of their sacrifices, we should all endeavor to serve our veterans as well as they have served their nation. Sometimes all that is needed is a simple thank you directed at the veteran or the family member for his or her sacrifice. Sometimes there is much more that is needed to honor our veterans and their families.
It starts with compassion. Many of our veterans are unemployed or underemployed. A large portion of the homeless are veterans. It is tragic that the men and women who allow us to be safe in our homes are often without homes themselves when they shed their uniforms.
