Thank You for Your Service

Covering all the bases for

   economics, 

      politics, 

         health care, 

            education……

how many more bases are there?

each individual has a belief in the direction for a life’s journey

whether our own or the lives of others and in the direction our leaders create for us.

Our men and women following those directions 

within our own countries and communities

into battlefields across the globe, 

into foreign countries and communities

bring with them their hearts, their intelligence and their souls,

while accepting great risks to their health and wellbeing for our beliefs, 

for the beliefs of their leaders and

for their own beliefs

To all the many who have gone before,

        those veterans in our communities

             and those who serve today

I offer a profound ‘Thank you for your service.’

“We must find time to stop and thank the people

 who make a difference in our lives.”

~ John F. Kennedy
