thank you, as a military brat (born on a military base), a military wife, and now retired, i spent my whole life "in" the military, and yes it saddens my heart that our service men/women barely get a thank you. I live near a military base and a gentlemen was shopping in uniform at one of our local stores, I walked up to him and thanked him for all he is doing for our country... he just teared up and hugged me.. thats where it all belongs.... thank you to all that has served and those that stood beside a spouse, son, daughter, etc and supported them.
