I Thank All Military Soldiers And Veterans For My Freedom

Just want to say thank you so much and honor all those who have served our great country and their families and loved ones who also sacrifice so much! You are not forgotten! You are vehemently important and I so appreciate it! As much as I pray for love and peace and wish war was never neccesary, I understand it unfortunately sometimes is.
I know we are the land of the free because of the brave like you all - the great men and women who have given their lives for, sacrificed, served, and currently serve and fight to keep us safe here at home. We owe our liberty and safety to you and of course God most of all.
We honor and appreciate you and all your sacrifices and what you do truly matters. I hope and pray for your safety, that God meets all your needs and blesses you all abundantly, and that you have a spifftastical Memorial Day Weekend!!
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
😇🇺🇸❤️💙🎊🎈🎇🗽🤗

What needs to be stressed more on Memorial and Veterans Day in the U.S. is just how big a price military people pay. PTSD, alcoholism, depression, stress disorders, broken marriages, broken families, disabling injuries, etc.

@ddt333: Yessir! You are so correct. I could not agree more. Almost always the hugeongeous price paid does not just end with the service itself. Often times it's even more so going on living life after with the crippling effects. Not enough is said about these issues, and they are just as and even more important really. I have not served myself, but a lot of my family has served. I also suffer with chronic pain and illnesses (Even a few of the ones you mentioned) myself, and so understand that a lot of times it's much more difficult to just go on living everyday life with such things. We need to do so much more for our veterans after they come home to help and equip them with the help and support they need to go on living every day after.

Well said. I'm sure I speak for all Veterans and their families when I say Thank You for this post.
