Veterans Appreciation Day

This is my shout-out to all Veterans...one in particular. Actually, he'll be a veteran soon. The countdown is on! Only a few more weeks until he comes home. You know, I always appreciated our country's armed forces, but now I know what their sacrifice really is. It's missing your youngest grow from baby to running toddler. It's missing your last remaining grandparent's funeral. It's all the family get-togethers that you only hear about. I guess I don't really know what it's like for them. This is just my perspective--the one who gets left behind.
