I don't look at what our military has done as a "sacrifice". They are all volunteers and, presumably, went into the military service with their eyes open. But I do thank them for taking on the responsibility of representing our country as they do. I am glad somebody is doing this job and I honor them for their efforts. But then I also honor the one who cleans my plumbing, cuts my lawn, trims my trees, harvests my food and serves me at the table. I don't have to do any of those things and am willing to pay (directly or through taxes) others to do them for me. It's all a question of how you look at it.

You are welcome! Just remember, many good men and women have died or been wounded for you, and your way of life. Earn our sacrifice. Live each day the best that you can, and tell your children who makes their freedoms possible. I have seen grown men on the ground screaming for their mothers. I have seen my friends disappear in a fireball. I have seen men save the life of another by getting in death's way to protect their buddies. I have felt the bullets of those who would see our freedoms die. We did/do it all for you and your way of life. We put on uniforms to give you all the freedoms you enjoy.Don't waste the gift we vets have given you, as we gladly gave it. Never forget those who never came home. They are the true heroes.

A huge "Thank You" and appreciation for all who have served, and those who are serving!

I disagree. The ones who DIDN'T sacrifice are great, too. They filled out index cards and typed reports and cooked food and built barracks. . .and all the rest. A vet is a vet. Just because one wasn't asked into combat doesn't mean that his or her efforts were any less necessary. Remember the ones who are so often overlooked, too.
