Veterans Day 2016
Thank you to all my family and friends for your service; those
that are veterans and those still in the service
At one time in my life I walked through the airport while in
uniform and felt the rage of the population against me? I was spit on and I was cursed. While I was proud of my uniform; my
leadership told me to not to wear it while in public for my own safety. That was a different time.
The sentiment today is one of honoring and support. Everyday heroes recognize. Today I proudly participated at my companies
flag raising ceremony with close to a hundred former service men and other company
employees. I stood proud while a tear trickled
down my cheek. I thanked those who served
and received the thanks from many. But as
I walked away, silently in my heart I wished I had these thanks during my service
time.
