Today, as we remember and salute the men and women of the armed forced. I am extremely grateful and proud to be a military spouse. My husband has fought in two wars and I have four uncles who have served in the military as well. Three of my uncles served in Vietnam. Last year, one of my uncles passed away. As I watched the bugler play taps at the cemetery, my grief was replaced with such pride. As I watched to flag being folded and presented to his widow, I wondered how many of the mourner really understood and appreciated what he did for our country. If you have a veteran in your family or if you know a veteran give them a call today and thank them for their service to our nation. It might be only thanks they will ever receive.
