Thank You For Your Service

'In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"'

I would like to thank all of our military veterans for their service and personal sacrifices so that we can have the country and lifestyles that we have today.
 I would especially like to thank my three favorite veterans :)
 My brother (who is going to kill me)
My father
My Grandfather 

I would also like to thank all of my other family members who are serving or have served I really appreciate all of you! I don't want to forget to thank the families of the veterans to, especially the mothers and wives, you keep our veterans strong while they are keeping us safe.
