Day 11: Veteran’s Day
Posted by Jen on Nov 13, 2013 in Uncategorized |
Everytime I’m in an airport on my way somewhere and I see a uniformed soldier holding a huge brown duffel, I pause and think about what that must feel like. Â They are likely on their way to a call of duty, a mission, headed to a place where danger is around every corner. Â All of their posessions are in that single bag and they are wearing a brave face. Â I think about how young some of them are, with worried mothers and fathers at home, helpless. Â I think about them as having families and young children at home,wondering if they will ever come back. Â I don’t pretend to know any part of this life, but my heart goes out to our veteran’s, active duty and beyond. Thank you for risking your lives for our country. Â I am so grateful.
