I encourage each and everyone to take the time to say “Thank You” to a Veteran this week for his or her services to our “Great Country”. I am the daughter and the granddaughter of a Veteran, I am very proud of my family’s history of serving our Country. So many times, we take for granted the freedoms that we have, that are bought and paid for by our brave young Women and Men who fought for our rights as citizens of the United States of America. It is sad to say, but we don’t always appreciate our Veterans the way that we should. We tend to forget that we wouldn’t have the freedom to do all of the things that keep us so busy, if it were not for our Veterans who made it possible. So please join me in remembering to take the time to shake the hand of a Veteran and say thank you for your Service.  “GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR SOLDIERS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA”.
