Veteran’s Day is here next Wednesday and I wouldn’t feel right not mentioning it. We have so much with which to be thankful. Though we may have our differences of opinion, squabbles over political ideals, or other daily challenges that present themselves, we are fortunate. All it takes is a conversation with a visitor from another country to remind us that we live in a really cool place. If you haven’t had the opportunity to speak to a foreign visitor, do yourself a favor, speak to an individual in the military that has been deployed. Their words will be politically correct, but their face will tell the story. I know this first hand as my son is currently deployed in Afghanistan. I have been lucky enough to speak to him on Skype and his words say one thing, but his face tells the story. We have it really good. With that, my wish and hope is that all our deployed military make it home safe. As we all know, hope is not a strategy but it’s all I have. Have a dazzling weekend…Go Pups!
