Thank a vet

CT, the office manager where I work, is a veteran of the first Gulf War. She’s now, like my husband, a veteran for peace. She’s not in yet this morning, so maybe this entry’s a little premature, but I brought her flowers to thank her for her service.

Vets who don’t want to see other soldiers go through a war unless it’s absolutely necessary don’t get the appreciation that those who are willing to walk in parades do.

I haven’t ever supported this current war, but I do support the individuals who are giving their lives. Even those who come back without a scratch have given the life they would have known if they hadn’t gone. They’ve done so in good faith and they deserve our respect.

Thank a vet. You can do it whether you’re for or against this war.
