10 Reasons to Thank a Veteran

November14

1. While you read this, there’s a veteran dying so you can sit here and read this as a free person.
2. But they’re making that ultimate sacrifice not because they are forced to, but because they believe in freedom and liberty.
3. Because they believe so strongly in the building blocks of our country, they are willing to spent years away from loved ones.
4. Because they have such a strong sense of patriotism, they are willing to endure not-so-comfortable living conditions.
5. Because they are so brave, they put their life on the line… for you.
6. They fight… for you
7. They die… for you
8. But they don’t ask for much in return. Nothing, in fact.
9. For one day, we honor our veterans. We sing songs, we play beautiful music, we hear speeches, and pledge our allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Just one day.
10. But everyday should be Veteran’s Day, because everyday a veteran fights for you.
