Thankful For: Veterans

Happy Veteran's Day!  I am so incredibly thankful for the men and women who have served and do serve our beautiful country.  It is not often enough that I think about this wonderful and beautiful place I call home.  Growing up in America has provided me with more opportunities than imaginable by others that live elsewhere.  I am very blessed to call the land of the free and the home of the brave MY home.  And I must give thanks to the brave individuals that made my life possible.

Today at work, we had an assembly.  It was really interesting.  Although I was trying to control rowdy high schoolers most the time, I did catch a bit of the highlighted guests.  One of the guests faught in a war (I didn't catch which one), but he is 90-something years old now.  It was really cool to see him and hear his story.  He and his troop were being shot at by snipers, and hid behind a dead cow.  Being the resourceful man he is, he climbed inside the bovine's stomach and waited for nightfall to come out.  It's just incredible to me.
Thank you.

Love,
Sean
