I was out to lunch yesterday with a co-worker.  We were standing in line to order tacos and behind me was a female soldier in uniform.  There is a base closeby.  The woman behind her, a stranger, said to the woman in uniform, "Thank you for all that you do for me.  I want to buy your lunch.  Have a happy Veteran's Day."  Wow.  That is a clear reminder of what these people do for me and each of us.  They are brave and put their lives on the line for our freedom.  Let's be thankful and grateful today for everyone who has and is serving us.
