I am...

A veteran of the United States Military.

I am married to a veteran.

I am the daughter of a veteran.

I am the granddaughter of a veteran.

On Memorial Day we gather together to honor and remember those who went before us. Today, however, is Veteran's Day. Today we honor the living. The ones who returned--whole, scarred or wounded. The ones we served with and fought beside.

For better or for worse, thank you.

I'd love to hear some of your veteran memories, you must have some tales to tell...

Nah...for the most part it was just a job. My best stories are from the past couple of years.
