Veterans Day

If you watch tv you have seen the commercials where stores are giving veterans a discount this week and some restaurants are giving them a free meal tomorrow. Growing up in a family with military uncles I think this is great but since our servicemen and women work every single day holidays included they deserve more than just a few small discounts one day a year. Since Tyler joined the Marines I have become more aware of how little they are valued. Like by the lady who told me it's not a real career choice. I think living in America people take freedom for granted because it's all they have ever known. I'm truly hoping that it's more that people take their freedom for granted than think its the given right. Freedom will never be free because there will always be someone making a sacrifice for it. I am so proud of my T and him becoming a marine. I am also proud and thankful everyday for every single service member. Over the next few days I dare you to thank someone you see in uniform. Or if you notice a military family sticker tell them you appreciate their loved one and their sacrifice. Its something they will never hear enough. I'm not sure we can ever appreciate all our military or their families do.
