The Department of Defense lists 1.3 million active duty military personnel and more than 800,000 reservists as of December 31, 2013. American Servicemen and Servicewomen serving daily so that you; so that I; might live free.
Today is Veteran's Day. Even if you don't tell an American Veteran that you appreciate them any other day of the year, do it today.
Remember, they sacrifice so that we might all live free.
To all of my family and friends who serve or have served, THANK YOU. I appreciate your sacrifices, and those your families make so that you may do your job, so that we might all live free.
