Just a real short note here to offer a salute to our veterans, old and new.
As a citizen of this country, I thank you for your service. All ideology and politics aside, I know that you were there for me and for all citizens, and the sacrifices that you have all made were made selflessly in our names.
With my salute I offer a prayer of hope that our society and our government will do right by all of you, whether you returned yesterday or 60 years ago.
Thank you veterans. Thank you all.

Galen, thank you. I was a little kid when you came home, but even when I got older, I never understood the way people treated the vets when you came home from that war. I was honestly afraid that it would be the same again this time, based on the angry opposition to the war in Iraq and the political polarization at the time. I’m really glad it didn’t happen that way. Regardless of how any of us feels about the war, the troops are not the ones to bear the blame.

Hey, Thank you for taking the time to write that. Times have changed since I came home many years ago and I’m glad they have changed. glg
