I have a lot of friends who have served in the military or are spouses of people who have served in the military or are currently serving. Thank you!
It's funny how I never really thought of myself as a vet. I served, I served during a war but I wasn't involved during that war. I was stationed in Korea during the first Gulf War, what I thought would be the main conflict of my lifetime. Little did I know. It's only over the last few years and thanks to my fellow soldiers, air men, sailors and marines that I've really learned to appreciate what I was a part of. Not that I was never proud of being in the Army, I loved it. I just never considered myself a vet. That was for people who went to war.
Of course, now that I'm seeing all of these Veterans Day Specials I have no problem embracing my vet ness. After all, food is involved. I found this on a fellow vet's wall today and thought I would share. I'm going to email it to my dad, also a Vet. If you know of a vet, please share this with them. They've earned their free meal, or three:)
