Hey everybody, it’s your old pal Skull taking some time to appreciate and give thanks to all of our veterans and their families who have sacrificed a lot so that we can enjoy many freedoms that people in other countries do not. Celebrating veterans is important whether you agree with the concept of war or not. It’s about letting the men and women who stick their lives on the line that we recognize the hell they have gone through and are grateful. Not all veterans have spent time on the front lines, but without them our troops would likely fail. I’m talking about cooks, mechanics, and of course medical staff. Empty stomachs don’t win wars, nor do Jeeps and tanks that don’t run, and without the fantastic medical teams many more soldiers would not make it home. It doesn’t take much time to say, “thank you for your service,” to that man wearing a Vietnam Veteran hat or the young woman in full uniform waiting in line ahead of you at the grocery store, but it’s important. Everyone doing a job wants their efforts to be appreciated and veterans deserve a huge amount of respect. Without them, you might not be here at all.
