Milspouse Friday Fill-in #64

1. Freedom is the ability to protest those that gave it to you.  Thank a soldier, don't spit on them.
2. Veterans are often not recognized in a way that reflects their sacrifice.
3. This country is full of successes and pitfalls... hopefully those pitfalls (*ahem* theeducationalsystem *ahem) can be remedied.
4. Veteran’s Day means taking a moment to thank all that have served in the US military.
5. A hero is "hero (male) and heroine (female) came to refer to characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self sacrifice—that is, heroism—for some greater good of all humanity", courtesy of Wikipedia... that really sums it up.  By the way, Wikipedia felt the need to add this disclaimer: "Not to be confused with heroin."  Really, Wikipedia, really....

Happy Veteran's Day, everyone- please take the time to thank a serviceman.  And if you're married to one, head over to Wife of a Sailor to link up!

*Special thank you to: my Grandpa S, who served in the US Army in WWII and earned a purple heart; my Grandpa B, who served in the US Army as a medic; my Uncle J, who served with the US Army in Desert Storm; my Pepere-in-law, who served with the US Navy in WWII; my Uncle-in-law B, who served with the US Army in Viet Nam; my Uncles-in-law T, P, & C, who all served in the US Navy; and, of course, my most favorite serviceman, my hubby, who has served in the US Navy for 16 years!   Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything that you have done for me, my family, my friends, and my country!!
