with the sincerest of gratitude,
I thank you for shaping history to a better way than what could have been;
for sacrificing time, providing a commitment, standing by through your most challenging times;
for standing by me in my most challenging times;
for seeing me through some bleak moments;
for getting me home each time;
for allowing me a great sense of appreciation and humility.
Happy Veteran's Day to all fellow Veterans, known and unknown.
