Rather than writing off the decision to serve with a sterile “thank you for your service” this year, own the sentiment and make it personal. Thank a veteran that you knew you would be present for the birth of all your children. Thank a veteran that you have pursued your educational goals safely and uninterrupted. Thank a veteran that your biggest stress is not getting your training ride, workout, spin class, yoga, pilates, or run in for the day. Thank a veteran that you can sit home nights and write. Thank a veteran that you have pursued a successful professional career and living the high life. Thank a veteran that you have the security to be a stay at home parent. Thank a veteran that you have chosen to make your home close to your, or far form your family, close to the ocean or deep in the mountain… but you choose it. Thank a veteran that you were able to attend every one of your child’s sporting events, music recitals, spelling bees and parent-teacher conferences. Thank a veteran that your spouse or partner comes home predictably every day. Thank a veteran that you have your weekends free. Thank a veteran that you pursued your passion as an actor, professional athlete, model, musician, or under water basket weaver. Thank a veteran that you don’t have to be one.
