Today is Veterans Day. They one day specifically set aside to remember those who have fought for our country.
I live with a veteran. My husband was in Viet Nam. I can not imagine what it must have been like for an 18 year old to be drafted; to do what he did, see what he saw. He was honorably discharged after his tour was up took all his stuff including 2 purple hearts and threw them in the trash dumpster and never looked back. He rarely talks about his experiences and I don't push. I mean how could I really understand anyway the hell and horrors of war?
So today all I can say is thank you to my husband and to all the veterans who have served our country in various places and too many wars. May we never forget them.
Thank him for our family, too. ♥
