Thank you for your service to our country!
“Thank you for your
service to our country.”
Like clicking on a seat belt, make it second nature to reach out to anyone you meet or see who is or has been in America’s military. Look for her or his hat, shirt, jacket, patch, car sticker, license plate. whatever quiet statement you see.
Then reach out to shake that person’s hand and simply say: “Thank you for your service to our country.” You won’t need to ask about it or explain yourself. You can be sure of a sincere, bright response.
If you’ve ever lived in or traveled to a dictatorship or third world nation, you positively know why you should be grateful.
“Thank you for
your service
to our country.”
This Holiday Weekend, let us each take a moment of silence out of our own lives and be thankful that we are even able to do that. Let us be thankful for the freedom we have—to walk down the street, to celebrate the holidays as we choose, and to express our opinions publicly without fear of reprisal . . . as long as we fight violence in our streets with calm, and terrorism when it emerges with every ounce of energy and dedication that our brave military thrives on.
. . . to travel freely between States without fear or intimidation or threats of being attacked or murdered, to pursue our careers and religious feelings and family lives in the ways that we choose, and to be able to choose in the first place
. . . to be able to vote and elect our representatives in government, to have so many dedicated young men and women serving so selflessly in our military, to have a flag and a nation we can be proud of.
“Thank you for
your service
to our country.”
There are so many more freedoms that we forget about most of the time, that even on special holidays when we should most value and appreciate them, let us not hide behind family and friend gatherings, gifts feelings of stress.
Yet these, the very things in life that count the most, come from the courageous veterans of our military who have given their very lives, their body parts, their hearts and souls for us that we might enjoy our precious rights and freedoms.
“Thank you for
your service
to our country.”
Next time –anytime– you meet or see someone who is or has been in America’s military. Reach out to shake that person’s hand and simply say, “Thank you for your service to our country.”

Hal, Thanks for the reminder. We owe our very way of life to the dedicated people in our armed services.
I was on a plane not too long ago and the flight attendant made a big deal about a soldier carrying flowers to his girlfriend. We were all asked to let the soldier leave the airplane first and then we were invited to join his joy as he handed the beautiful white roses to his girlfriend and asked her to be his bride. Everyone cheered and clapped – – it was truly a moment I won’t forget!
We owe that type of applause and appreciation to all servicemen and women!
What a truly nice story to share, Jonena. Thank you! Please visit again soon. As always — Best, Hal
