In
the last year, I have had
12 clients who were veterans and I appreciate every one of them.
They
are the
ones, along with the veterans before them, who gave their lives to
protect the
freedom that I have to do what I do, and say what I say, in this
country.
But,
while thanking a veteran
the other day, after meeting him on his way home from the reserve base,
I told
him, “Thank you”. He had to ask, “For what?” I told him,
“For your
service. I
know it is a thankless job sometimes, but I also understand without
you, my
family and many others in this world would not be free!”
That is when I saw this
tough retired Army guy, now in the reserves,
almost get
teary eyed. He said, “I’m a forth generation Army guy and
I wouldn’t
have it
any other way. But thank you and you don’t know how good your timing is
as 30
minutes ago, I was wondering what this was all for.”
I asked, “WHY?” He said,
“Because 30 minutes ago, as I was getting gas,
I was
spit upon and called a baby killer. I know, if anything,
I’m a baby
saver and
they are just ignorant, but still, you made me realize why I do this,
for
people like you, who understand and appreciate the sacrifices I have
made in my
life to do this for our country”
What
is wrong with people
today? How could you not only, not appreciate what our servicemen and
women do
for us, but how could you spit on another human being? These
people who
do this
claim they are peace loving people, but their actions say something
much
different. How can we have peace in this world if all you can do is
shout at
people and spit on them to get your point across? That is why we have
wars,
because of people that spit on others because of their beliefs.

Whether a person approves of our nation's military stance or not, it is appalling to hear of people not respecting the military for doing what they do. They're amazing to dedicate themselves to our country in that way.
