Every day provides us with opportunities to celebrate. Today I invite you to celebrate the men and women who currently serve or once served in the U.S. Military.

and don’t get the respect they deserve.
that people are disgraceful.
what most don’t comprehend,
because of politics.
I appreciate what you have undergone.
time with family declines.
your family has a worrying heart.
for pay that doesn’t align,
for your country’s sake.
to protect us all.
for all you do!
