Happy Veterans' Day

Nov 11, 2005 15:16

So on rounds today, I stayed behind for a second to tell each of the vets, "Happy Veterans' Day, and thank you for your service."

...

I didn't expect so many of them to become tearful. I wonder when the last time they heard that was.

I don't think they ever really hear a "Thanks"...

I know that on days like today, and then on Dec 7th, I thank any veteran I see, for if it were not for them, we wouldn't have the freddom and liberties we have.

I had the same meeting with vetrans today and all the time...they are shocked that ANYONE says thank you. I know I appreciate what they do...immensly, considering my grandfathers were in WWII and my fater was in the Army also.
