Veterans Day has come and gone and for some already forgotten! Men and women who supported this country with military service are not treated as the heroes they are. Instead, many lose their dignity, respect, and ability to find sustaining jobs because of ill-effects from the war. What they have seen, felt and lost will never be replaced with a thank you for your service comment. I'm not diminishing that statement, I'm saying that because most civilians appreciate what these survivors have done. I am deeply concerned that many of our politicians can do more for our military but instead give them lip service. At times, some VA doctors have been treating combat PTSD vets with more medication than treating the psychological problem. I could talk more about this but it would continue to fall on deft ears. Our military men and women deserve more! Remember: All gave some but some gave all!
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.

Never Forget Their Ultimate Sacrifice!
