Many of us are or know of a local Veteran who has served for our country.

I am honestly taking the day off because the school & daycare are closed. Thinking of hitting up local nurseries - basically a day off to mess around.

However, it means so much more than that...

I am grateful, oh so grateful...

Given I'm not a government employee, I'm working. OK. I'm wasting time on Piggington AT THE MOMENT, but I am at work.

Buying a small flag from the vet in front of 7-11 and thanking him for his service in WW2, then tonight calling my to thank my buddy who fought in Vietnam.

It is humbling the sacrifices made for our freedom.

I'm working like most people because corporate america doesn't really value sacrifice.

FYI I grew up in a military family so I know what it means

I am spending it with the kids since the preschool is closed today.

I want to thank every single member of our armed forces past and present.

I apologize for all the american citizens who like to complain how much of an imperialistic, take advantage of every country we can type of society. Funny how they all still live here though and enjoy receiving an education, enjoy being able to practice thier religions, and enjoy being able to do pretty much whatever they please, and earn a good living.

Our country is far from perfect but good or bad I would never give up living here. I don't hate our country regardless of the corruption of our leadership and marriage to Wall Street.

Thank you to all service men, support staff, military families, deployed or not deployed. Thank you for your bravery and selflessness. My prayers to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
