Great people

Work sucks. I have too much to do. I wish things would just slow down. My customers are jerks. I should have picked a different profession.

Most of us have complained about work before. It seems to be the human thing to do. But lets all remember a few things. For most of us, we do our work and then we get to go home. If we make a mistake at our work, we can probably fix it tomorrow. If we can't fix it, it simply costs us money. No one is trying to kill us. We do not have bullets coming at us from all directions. When we walk down a road, we don't worry about blowing ourselves up. Our friends lives do not depend on what we do at every turn. We get to eat real food at night. We get to take a real shower at night. Our loved ones are close by.

We take a lot for granted. Stuff that our fighting women and men do not get to have. But yet, they do it. They do it for their families and for all of us. They put up with stuff that most of us would not. We live like we do, because of them. I am free to write this because a solder from this country fought for my right to do so.

A lot of times we see some old guy wearing a military ball cap. We think about it for a split second. Or we see some young man in a wheelchair with a military shirt on. We think about it for a split second. Today is the day to think a little more. And then, tell them thanks.

America is great because of our veterans.
