Veterans Day 2016

As the son of a Vietnam Veteran, I have experienced firsthand the challenges that many veterans face in their daily lives.  Many have been challenged with medical or psychological issues that continue to take a toll on themselves and their families.  Although my father was able to cope with the stress of war, there are many veterans who have had more difficult times.  Many of these heroes have been through difficulties and experienced situations that none of us will ever know.  It is important for all of us to remember the sacrifices that each of these men and women have made for our country.  That is why it is important to take the time and thank a Veteran for their service no matter who they are or what time of the year it may be.  Please show compassion, have empathy and give thanks to all of those that have served our great country.  Each of them is truly a HERO!
