Thank you to each and every man and woman who has answered the call to serve our country. Veterans Day is dedicated to thanking those who deserve our gratitude every single day for giving up their personal freedom to defend ours.
If you have served in our nation’s military: thank you for your service and sacrifice. I salute you!
On a personal note, my fellow soldiers are the only reason that I am still alive today. They saved my life when an IED detonated beneath me in Afghanistan because they chose to run towards danger.
Our nation is blessed to have such brave men and women protecting those of us back home.
To all American veterans, once again, please allow me to personally thank you for all you have done to defend our nation.
May God Bless all our veterans and their families.
Respectfully,
SSG Brian Mast, U.S. Army (ret.)
