*The country has a great debt of gratitude to show the military today and every day.
We are safe and warm in our homes while they fight for us across the seas and fight for those across the seas that are not safe against their own government and vigilante militia groups.
Today, we take the time to tell all of you that we appreciate what you do. We appreicate the bravery it takes to make a better life not only for your children, but for ours.

I must add to those who are still in the military, I thank you as well.
Veteran’s Day is the day set aside to honor former military personnel still living.
Memorial Day is the day set aside to honor deceased military personnel.
Armed Forces Day is the day set aside to honor members of the armed forces currently on active duty.
The mass media has blured the correct observance of these three days to the point that most Americans have no idea what these special days are for. While we may appreciated what the members currently on active duty are doing, Veteran’s Day nor Memorial Day are for them.

Thank you, it was my pleasure. . .U.S. Air Force, Ret.
