#IAmAVeteran

To understand a military veteran you must know:

We left home as teenagers, or in our early twenties, for an unknown adventure.

We loved our country enough to defend and protect it with our lives.

We said goodbye to friends, family, and everything we knew.
We were taught the basics and then we were scattered into the wind, to every corner of the world.

We found new friends who became family.

We became brothers and sisters, regardless of race, color, or creed.

We had plenty of good times, and plenty of bad times.
We never got enough sleep. Some of us smoked and drank too much.

We picked up both good, and bad, habits.

We worked hard and we played harder.

We didn’t earn a great wage.

We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing family events.
