Veterans Day Salute

Thank you to all who have served this, the greatest nation in history. Without your sacrifices, the United States wouldn't be.

Thank you to those who serve now. May your sacrifices not be in vain.

Thank you to all who will serve in the future. May you stand strong, but never needed.

God bless all of our veterans, but especially my Pop-Pop, Riley, who fought the Nazis and is no longer with us; my father, Michael, who fought in Vietnam; and Tammy, one of the best friends I've ever had (and definitely the best internet wife ❤), a veteran of the Gulf War. Thank you for ensuring America remains free.

We didn't serve for the recognition. We served because it was the right thing to do.

We didn't serve to become one of the sheep. We served to keep the wolves at bay.

We didn't serve because we like death and destruction. We served to prevent those things from visiting us.

We didn't serve to save ourselves. We served to save you.

We didn't serve so we could kill. We served to keep you from dying at the hands of the enemy.

We served so you didn't have to...
