I think the hardest posts for me to write every year are the ones that are intended to honor our veterans (Veterans Day) or to remember them (Memorial Day). Why? The words, “Thank you!” “Honor!” “Remember!” and the like. are all great words but they seem to not completely express the gratitude I have for the many men, women, and even, dogs, who have put their lives into protecting our freedoms in more ways than I know.
Since I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), even before it was officially diagnosed, my physical body would never met the requirements of the military for enlisted men.
To everyone who has served in our Armed Forces, thank you for everything you have done.
