Brief Reflections On Veterans Day

Yesterday was the day day to thank a living veteran and to reflect on the passing of so many veterans this past year. Our WWII, and Korean, and Vietnam veterans are reaching that age where we are losing almost 10,000 to 20,000 a month. Their sacrifice was so much and we should remember their service and sacrifices away from family. We are in the middle/end of a another long conflict. We need to thank our current service men and women today for all they have done. It was different when I was in for just training. We were not really appreciated except by older veterans and the people who knew war. The war I was in was the Cold War after we lost the Vietnam War. I never fired a shot in anger, and never really could see the "threat". But, I know that we lost a lot of soldiers during the Cold War due to training accidents. Every Memorial Day a few of us "Cold War Warriors" gather to reflect on those who sacrificed everything for our Armed Forces to be ready. We, I, say thank you to all who served no matter how or when.
