Thank you for being so selfless to serve our great country! Our country would not be the free and wonderful country it is without you.  You are highly honored not only today but everyday! Thank you is not enough to express gratitude for your role in shaping the United States of America into the best country in the world.

Heroes are more than the combat aces, the general officers, and the recipients of the purple heart. they are all of the airmen, the sailors, the marines, the coast guardsmen, and the soldiers. To those who are with us today and to those who are looking down upon us, thank you for your selflessness, your service, and your sacrifice. You are true American heroes.

Few in this country know what it is really like to sacrifice everything for the greater good. Throughout our history, our Veterans have been essential in allowing us to maintain our freedoms and rights, and to help spread these rights to countries around the globe. Thank you for allowing ordinary citizens like myself and my family live the life we are able to.

# data[].attributes.body
Your sacrifices made to preserve our freedoms does not go unnoticed.  It takes a special person to be able to put others ahead of themselves.   Thank you for helping preserve a great country, where my kids will have the opportunity to flourish.

Thank you all for your service. I am very honored that you chose to serve our country. My father, Bob Maronde was a very prideful Marine until his passing in 2017. He always said, "Once a Marine, Always a Marine". I am one proud daughter as we honor our Veterans today and everyday!
Take care of yourselves, and Semper Fi.

There’s no way to thank our veterans for everything they sacrifice for our freedom, but Veterans Day  is a good time to remember that our freedom isn’t guaranteed. It’s protected by the men and women in our Armed Services. To those who secure our way of life… THANK YOU!

We are so grateful you are coming home safe! God Bless you and all of the Veterans who choose to selflessly give themselves for our freedom!

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.  Thank you for protecting us and fighting for our freedom.  We lost our husband/father early this year.  He was proud to have served 20 years in the Army, many of those years overseas.  Retirement didn't stop him to continue to serve until his health prevented him to.  He volunteered at several organizations helping both our active duty and retired service members.  He came from a family that for many generations, men have served in different branches of the military.  It continues with a nephew who was in the Marines, and our son-in-law who is currently in the Air Force.  Truly, no words can we express our gratitude.  God bless and thank you.

Greg, we met before you were sent overseas to Bosnia to serve a year's time. We fell in love during that time through hand written letters and very limited phone calls. You have a service heart, you protect so many others still to this day as a Sgt. in Cary. Thank you for your service and thank you for our freedom. We love you!

To all the other Veterans, thank you. Thank you for your time, your protection, and for your love of this country. We know at times this service has cost you your limbs and mental health, but please know we thank you and pray for your health, always. God's blessings to you all.

To the amazing man who walked into our lives and made us a family again, THANK YOU Nate! Thank you for putting yourself out there courageously and fearlessly.  Thank you for saving so many lives. Thank you for continuing to do so in the community and making our town safer. Let us remember those who lost their lives or limbs or a piece of them on the battlefield. Here are a few good men! Love, Sara, Logan, & Ronin

We thank you every day for the freedom you fight for and the sacrifices you make to keep us safe.   For my father- your service to our country offered me unforgettable and lifelong  experiences; learning to be open minded as we lived in new countries and places, adapting to and welcoming of change-  wherever/whenever the military took us.  Thank you for your 30yrs in the Army.  Thank you to my husband who always knew he'd serve but didn't enlist until he was at the ripe age of 38!  Thank you for showing the kids that a dream can be achieved even later in life.  Your commitment to serving your country in the Air Force Air National Guard makes us proud. Love, Alice , Isaac, and Abbey

Thank you to my aunt Mary Thelen for her years of service to our country. I have learned so much from this amazing woman over the years. Thank you for every conversation at the coffee shop, every game of golf, every day spent supporting me and for every moment that you have spent as part of my life. You have taught me that life is what you make it and that change is possible. Thank you for being a role model and a hero. Love you!

I would like take this opportunity to thank all veterans of the armed forces for their service and sacrifice to protect the United States and to uphold the ideals outlined in The Constitution of the United States.  It is because of you that we have the ability to enjoy the simple freedoms that our lives offer us each and every day.  I would like to specifically like to thank my father, Thomas Troka, for his service in the U.S. Marine Corps.  The values and ideals that he modeled in our family while I was growing up left the best of impressions on my life and carry through to my own dealings with people today.  I would like to thank my nephew, Koy Dahlberg, for his active service in the U.S. Marine Corps today and all of the sacrifice that he continues to engage in each day so that we can live our lives in the manner that we choose.  Last, I would like to thank my very good friend, Ken Bulthuis, for his active service in in the U.S. Army. His lifetime commitment inspires me and reminds me each and every day that we continue to put our best foot forward as a country and that we do our best to uphold the values and integrity that we need to as a world leader. Thank you to all veterans and their families because without you none of what we hold dear and enjoy would be possible!

Dear Veterans,

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the heroism you have displayed through your service to our country.  Words cannot convey the pride I have in our military.  Whenever I come across a veteran, usually revealed to me by the baseball cap on their head indicating their branch of service or the war they fought, I immediately drop what I am doing and approach him and thank him for his service.  To me, meeting one of you is far more special than meeting, say, a Hollywood star or a member of a royal family.  You are my royalty and the dedication and commitment you have put forth for our country, most of whom you have never even met, is unparalleled.  I am in awe.  I lost my dad this year; he was a proud Korean War veteran, and this Veteran’s Day is particularly emotional for me as I remember him and silently thank him for his service.  He comes from a family that has defended our country during the wars of the last century – his older brother (my uncle) served in World War II and my grandfather in World War I.  Regardless of whether you served in peace time or war time, each and every one of you have played a special part in your own way, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping us safe, maintaining our strength and making us the best military in the world.

On a separate note, if any of you war veterans can go on an Honor Flight Chicago and spend the day in Washington DC to see the war memorials, I urge you to do so!  My father went a few years ago through Honor Flight Cleveland and said it was one of the best days of his life.

Forever grateful,

BJB
