Veterans Day

Today, November 11th is Veterans Day. Many of you know what this means. It’s the others that have little or no clue and too many don’t care.

Life in the military is not an easy one. From 4 years to 40. First the pay is ridiculous. You have enlisted people with 10+ years of service being eligible for WIC and EBT! Family life is terrible. Divorce and broken homes is the norm. Deployments, drills, training, maneuvers, duty, it never ends. Our boys come home with missing limbs and scars that you can’t see. Too many times these warriors are sent into harm’s way because of a lie, or some other agenda.

These men and women are the bravest, hardest working, smartest people this nation has to offer. These people are cut from a different cloth. Today, when you enjoy your day off, and see a man or woman with a hat with the word veteran on it, buy him or her a cup of coffee or meal. Stop in your local American Legion or VFW and buy everyone there a drink. Or drop off a case or two of beer. Trust us; these posts are still serving their communities! You have today off because of people like the ones pictured above.
