There are so many times in our lives that someone might not be thanked for what they do. It really doesn’t matter what field you are in, or what you do as an occupation, we all liked to get thanked for what we do.
Win a $10 Amazon Gift Card and 16gb Dog Tags USB Flash Drive
While Tom over at Tom’s Take On Things realizes this, he does want everyone to think about our soldiers in the U.S. Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy and the Coast Guard. Tom once was a soldier. He served in Desert Storm/Shield and completed his time of 6 years by doing the best that he could. He recognizes what a soldier gives up to help support and defend this land that we are in.

My Dad is a Navy Vet and served during Desert Storm in the 80s. I vividly remember seeing him off on ships and return home, thank God. He told my mom and I then that Sadam Hussein needed to be killed or the US would regret it, and I will never forget that.
