Thank you, veterans, past and present, for serving and for risking your lives to protect our freedoms. Thank you for sacrificing time with your families, holidays with loved ones, birthdays with your children… so that we may sleep peacefully, knowing we are safe. Thank you for protecting us… so that we may never know true oppression and fear like so many others who simply have the misfortune of being born elsewhere… under tyranny and poverty of a magnitude we can scarcely comprehend. Thank you for helping others who are unable to help themselves. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. #veteransday #veterans #salute
