I was a peace time veteran and look at things a little differently. I am a small v veteran and reserve the big V for those who served in time of war. When I think about men going out, knowing that they were unlikely to come back and they did it to not let their fellow soldier, friends down, I feel humbled in my heart. My Father, Uncles, Gradfathers and a Great Uncles were combat Veterans and their action made our freedoms possible. I served, but their serving means I got the chance to serve. To all combat veterans thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless.
