Depending on whom you ask, you will receive different perspectives on what it means to serve in the military and to be a veteran. In my brief experience as an Army wife, I have had the privilege of meeting strong men and women who are committed to defending our country, our freedoms, and our way of life. Isn’t that amazing?
I understand the frustration of the men and women who feel distressed every time they hear that our constitutional rights are under attack. I don’t blame them; they have sacrificed so much for us abroad, and the least we can do is continue to protect our rights here at home.
H – For Veterans and service members, it is an HONOR to serve the country and to say they stepped up to do what few have done. They don’t think about themselves; they are ready to take action to protect their nation.
E—Being EXCEPTIONAL is not an option but a way of life for many like you. Many lives depend on it.
R – Service members RESPECT their duty and their job. Even fearing the unknown, they move forward to accomplish their mission to protect our country and freedom.
O – And with their OATH to support and defend the “Constitution” of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, I tell each of them: YOU ARE MY HERO!!
