Thank You
I have never served in the military.
I can only imagine what it must be like
to have served in the wars and conflicts;
Or the myriads of tasks for which you are
called upon and to which you always say "Yes".
My heart is warmed each time I see anyone
in a military uniform, and if the opportunity
presents itself, I will humbly say, "THANK YOU".
Yes. "THANK YOU" for your service to your great
country. "THANK YOU" for giving up many of your
personal freedoms so that I may remain free.
"THANK YOU" for surrendering your personal pursuits
so that I may freely pursue my hopes and dreams.
"THANK YOU" for taking orders from your superiors
so I need not feel inferior to any people or nation.
For this and so much more, "THANK YOU, sir, mam".
